National Apprenticeship Week
This week is National Youth Apprenticeship Week. Many youth apprenticeship programs are offered by the state through the WLHS curriculum and local companies. Youth apprenticeship provides students career related curriculum in combination with hands-on experience. During or after the school day, students work in potential career fields in local companies to earn a certificate of achievement that can be helpful for college admission and a resume. WLHS students often follow our Career Pathways Catalog and complete a youth apprenticeship as their capstone course into a potential career area of interest.
This year, we have 19 students taking part in a youth apprenticeship ranging from nursing assistant, architecture and construction, pharmacy technician, professional sales, and manufacturing. YA is open to seniors only. If you are a current sophomore please click here to learn more or attend an informational session in your junior year. Sophomores may also reach out to our YA Coordinator, Mrs. Carron if you are interested in meeting with her over the summer to plan for your senior year.
