Apprenticeships are filling the demand for skilled workers in Door and Kewaunee counties and students looking for career options beyond high school.  That's a winning combination for students, employers, and their home communities.  Students can learn marketable job skills and earn money while completing their studies.  Erica Janisch, with the Ahnapee Regional Youth Apprenticeship program, says that pays off for area employers and communities.

Wisconsin helped pioneer apprenticeship programs in 1911.  Today, some 3,000 employers covering 200 occupations train nearly 14,000 students annually.
