Youth apprenticeship program to expand under new moniker

The kids in your community could have even more opportunities to find their dream career in the future thanks to the youth apprenticeship program that started locally.

 

Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) 7 announced on Friday it would be joining forces with the Greater Green Bay Chamber and the Ahnapee Youth Apprenticeship Consortium to create the new Northeast Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship program. The current Ahnapee Youth Apprenticeship Consortium currently consists of seven schools with access to approximately 1,100 juniors and seniors. Over 300 kids are currently placed at businesses like NEW Plastics, D&S Machine Services, and the CP Center. The hope is with expansion, the roster employers will have access to approximately 10,000 interested juniors and seniors at possibly 31 high schools across northeast Wisconsin.

 

Luxemburg-Casco School District Director of Learning Services Mike Snowberry says they are proud to have a model that has worked and hopes it does the same for the entire region.

Snowberry added that the number of staff members would grow with the expansion with its youth apprenticeship coordinator Jen Johnson taking on a more active role in the entire region.
