Employers who have a Registered Apprenticeship program may choose to partner with a local high school(s) that offers a corresponding Career and Technical Education program. A formal agreement would be prepared between the Registered Apprenticeship sponsor, the high school, the student apprentice and parent(s) and/or guardian(s).

If a Youth Registered Apprenticeship program is approved, the accepted high school student(s) will participate in the Registered Apprenticeship program while completing high school graduation requirements.  Students would be employed part-time while completing high school requirements.  Employment would continue following high school graduation assuming the apprentice maintains adequate progress in the program. Wages would continue on a graduated scale leading to journey worker status.
