Start your career and build your skillset!

The occupation reports within O*NET OnLine now have an “Apprenticeship Opportunities” section. Where available, see examples of apprenticeship titles vetted by industry and approved by the U.S. Department of Labor for use in a Registered Apprenticeship Program. Then dive directly into Apprenticeship.gov to learn more about opportunities related to the occupation.

In addition, an updated Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Data System (RAPIDS) crosswalk is incorporated into O*NET OnLine and O*NET Code Connector.

Ready, Set, App! interns are high school students from across the state who are experienced in and passionate about computer science. They are assigned as mentors to the teams competing in the competition to provide insight and guidance to them as they develop their apps. They will meet with teams on a regular basis to track progress and answer questions, helping them overcome any obstacles on their pathway to success. This help includes things such as tips on time management, troubleshooting code, providing insight on designs, and more. They're a vital resource to this competition and we need hardworking, dedicated students to fill these spots.

This paid internship will begin in November 2024 and end in April 2025. Interns should expect to work about 10 hours a week. This includes regular meetings with student teams, RSA leadership, marketing/outreach for the competition, and other tasks included in organizing this event. This internship also offers its participants multiple opportunities for professional development, helping students grow into capable, young professionals.
