What industries can I choose from?
Absolutely! Modern Apprenticeship complements students’ other interests and teaches them the responsibility of balancing work, school, and hobbies. In the first year, apprentices spend approximately 12-16 hours per week at their employer. In the second year, apprentices spend approximately 20-24 hours per week at their employer. Many of those hours fall during the typical school day. Because apprentices will typically spend a portion of the day in school, they retain the core elements of the high school experience, including their social connections.
Can I be an apprentice and still participate in sports and other extracurricular activities?
Any high school sophomore who is on track to graduate, has parental permission, and is eligible to work in the United States. Please confer with your high school to determine if you are on track to graduate. The Modern Apprenticeship team can work with you to make sure you have time in your schedule during your junior and senior year to participate in the program. There are a limited amount of Modern Apprenticeship opportunities available, so if you are interested, reach out today to learn more.
What are the requirements to enroll in Modern Apprenticeship?
Yes! Now more than ever, employers look for candidates who have specific skills; these are skills you can't always learn in the classroom. Modern Apprenticeship helps you gain relevant experience that prepares you for the future. Did we mention you also earn college credit while still in high school? As an apprentice, you can earn 10-15 college credits on average, so you can actually save money while getting paid to learn and earn credit.
Should I still apply for Modern Apprenticeship, if I want to go to college after high school?
Modern Apprenticeship is designed to help you explore an industry that interests you in high school while getting paid and earning credit. After completing Modern Apprenticeship, if you decide that industry isn't for you, that's OK! You still come out ahead with relevant work experience and more experience to inform your next step in your career journey.
