Take a look at the new Ozaukee Youth Apprenticeship website HERE!

Youth apprenticeships provide students with hands-on experience, allowing them to develop practical and soft skills while exploring potential career paths. These programs enhance career readiness, offer networking opportunities, and often include wages, making them a cost-effective way to gain industry-specific knowledge. By bridging education and workforce needs, apprenticeships prepare students for future success while addressing skill gaps in the job market.

If you have more questions reach out to your counselor or Mr. Duba, the OYA Co-Coordinator located in our PWHS Building.
