Rising 9th-12th grade students can apply for one of five paid apprenticeships. These apprenticeships will help each student explore a career path while developing both college readiness and professional development skills. Each student will utilize instructor office hours, and do independent project work outside of class. The apprenticeship work will be supplemented with character education, an Emerging Leaders class, career speakers, and one-on-one advising sessions with a young professional advisor working in the same field as each student’s apprenticeship.
The summer 2024 apprenticeships are:
Business
