Narrative
The Youth Apprenticeship Program is a unique opportunity for students to start preparing for a career while still in high school. This one- or two-year program provides the opportunity for earning an hourly wage while learning from skilled professionals. Excused time from school is optional. Students completing the program will receive a certificate of occupational proficiency from the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. Participation in the Youth Apprenticeship Program requires the student to meet entry criteria. Students must have a high interest in the Technology and Engineering field (automotive technician, manufacturing, drafting and welding), be on track to graduate, have adequate transportation, obtain parental permission, have a good attendance record, and be willing to submit to an application and interview process. Applicants are approved for the program on a case-by-case basis.
