Explore careers and get paid!

February 7, 2018

Thinking about a career but not sure if it’s right for you? Try a Youth Apprenticeship!

What’s a youth apprenticeship? 

Spend half your day in school and half your day at a job. Get paid  for working – about 15 hours a week – while you train for a career!

What do I need? 

Have at least a 2.0 GPA, a 90% attendance rate, and be ready to work.

When do I apply? 

Juniors and seniors can be youth apprentices. Apply in your sophomore or junior year.

What kind of job will I have? 

Youth apprenticeships are available in many Milwaukee businesses! You’ll be matched to a career that interests you. Fields include the following:

Agriculture, food, and natural resources
Architecture and construction
Arts, AV technology, and communications
Engineering
Finance
Health science
Hospitality and tourism
Information technology
Manufacturing
Transportation, distribution, and logistics

What do I do next? 

Contact the Youth Apprenticeship team or download the application and interest form! Ask your counselor or career champion for help, or contact Terri Salzer at salzertj@milwaukee.k12.wi.us.
