03 Youth Apprenticeship & Registered Pre-Apprenticeship

What is Youth Apprenticeship?

Youth Apprenticeship is an apprenticeship program that starts when the apprentice is in high school or within 120 days (about 4 months) of graduation. The DOL categorizes Youth Apprentices as those 16-24 years old.

Why Choose Youth Apprenticeship?

Youth Apprenticeship gives young adults an opportunity to jump-start their chosen career paths while helping employers create a sustainable talent funnel.

Note: High School students that register in an apprenticeship program before graduation are eligible for a community college tuition waiver.

What is Registered Pre-Apprenticeship?

Pre-Apprenticeship is a program designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in a Registered Apprenticeship Program. These short-term programs expand the participant’s career opportunities by merging essential instruction with elective work experience and optional wage structures. Pre-apprentices can work either full or part time. At the end of the program, both the sponsor and the pre-apprentice can sever ties or continue the relationship. If they choose to continue, the pre-apprentice moves into an apprenticeship program.
