Youth Apprenticeship Success Story

Youth Apprenticeship

The Youth Apprenticeship program is a great work-based education opportunity which combines classroom education with related, practical work experience. Students receive academic credits for structured job experiences as they make the transition to post-high school life/work/education. They are supervised “on the job” by employers who are in communication with our YA Coordinator.

 

Students must be employed at qualified work sites determined by Department of Workforce Development (DWD) Youth Apprenticeship Program requirements. To earn credit, students are required to work 450 total hours (an average of 15 hours per week), submit timesheets, earn a satisfactory employer job performance rating, and meet the competency checklist.

 

School release time is available for students in this program and will vary based on student course schedules and employer expectations.

GPS Education Partners

GPS Ed is an immersive youth apprenticeship program with career pathways in the manufacturing, construction, and automotive industries. Students must be 16 years old to enter the program and have been in high school a minimum of two years. Typically, students participate in the program during their junior and senior years of high school; there are some students who attend only their senior year. Students in the GPS Ed program attend class at a local off-site education center. Students attend class part of the day and receive paid work experiences with local businesses the other part of the day. This model is a competency-based, immersive learning experience aligned to education and industry standards.
