YOUTH APPRENTICESHIPS

Youth apprenticeships are available only to juniors and seniors. These work programs involve both class work, release time for a job, and on-the-job training. This program is designed to integrate “school-based” and “work-based” learning and to provide the student with academic and occupational skills. The student takes three or more periods of applied academic courses with the remaining time spent in the apprenticeship with local business. Students must meet all the steps listed above for the school-to-work program and in addition, they must be: approved by KHS staff, and ensure forms are completed throughout the course/year. Upon completion of the one or two-year program students receive a high school diploma, possible technical college credit, and a state certificate of occupational proficiency in the related industry.
