Youth Apprenticeship helps students gain work experience while earning a wage with a registered sponsor. An apprenticeship is designed for students to acquire hands-on job skills in a specific occupational area. Their experience will be gained through a career site and classroom instruction. Students earn high school credit as well as hours towards a registered apprenticeship. At the completion of the high school apprenticeship program, students can continue their apprenticeship to earn a nationally recognized credential. Youth Apprenticeship differs from an internship in that apprenticeships guarantee students receive a wage, hours towards a registered apprenticeship and the opportunity to receive a nationally recognized credential at the completion of the registered apprenticeship program.
