Your children may soon lean on Lauren Baumann in their search for a career in the future. The Door County Economic Development Corporation announced earlier this month that Baumann would be taking over the reins of its Door County Youth Apprenticeship Program. Baumann has already been busy working with schools and local businesses to help find the right fit for students as they attend classes and go through an apprenticeship. Working with kids is something Baumann missed after she left her role as a Certified Athletic Trainer for some of the schools.

The Ahnapee Regional Youth Apprenticeship Consortium is currently ranked third in the state in terms of connecting local businesses with students to provide mentorship, support, and guidance.  NEW Radio has hired one graduate and employs other high school students as a part of the program.
