Youth Apprenticeship
Wisconsin’s Youth Apprenticeship program is a part of a statewide School-to-Work initiative. It is designed for junior and senior grade level high school students who want hands-on learning in an occupational area at a worksite along with classroom instruction. This one or two year elective program combines academic and technical instruction with mentored on-the-job learning.
The Youth Apprenticeship Program is managed by different consortiums and its availability differs by school district. For more information, please see your high school counselor, contact your local Youth Apprenticeship consortium or visit this website: http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/youthapprenticeship/
