Apprenticeship
 Why Apprenticeship?
Just what is apprenticeship, you ask? Good question!
An apprenticeship is an opportunity while you are still in high school
to learn a valuable profession while earning a paycheck.
For centuries, craftspeople have learned their trade
through apprenticeships. Now, more than ever, skilled workers are in
demand! Someone has to design, supply materials, engineer, and build the
high rises, shopping malls, athletic facilities, homes and businesses.
Shouldn't that someone be you?
Youth apprenticeship programs offer students in the
NEISD a course of study that brings together academics, work site
learning, and paid work experiences--all before high school
graduation. After high school, the student can enter a college or
university, or a standard apprenticeship program at the advanced
level.
Apprentieship training typically includes:
-
Apprentice level pay from an employer
-
Planned on-the-job training under proper
supervision
-
Related classroom instruction; and
-
Training that last a specific length of time
Apprenticeships must follow guidelines through the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.
