Youth Apprenticeship

Youth Apprenticeship programs give students a head start!  
Youth Apprenticeship programs combine the best of a classroom education with hands-on working experience in the "real world."  Students can explore careers firsthand, learn valuable skills, earn school credit, and earn a paycheck at the same time.

Many high schools and technical colleges in Wisconsin participate in youth apprenticeship programs to enable students to "test drive" a career in the automotive industry.  

Students attend classroom instruction at school, and then, for a part of the day, they work with an experienced professional who acts as a mentor and helps students apply the skills they've learned in a real hands-on situation.  

Students, accelerate your chance for success--ask your instructors or guidance counselors about youth apprenticeship opportunities at your school!

Business owners, get involved!  This year's youth apprentice could be next year's star employee!
