8th Grade Apprenticeship
Apprentice Learning
Apprentice Learning provides real-world work experiences by hosting 8th-grade students as apprentices to offer career exploration opportunities. At such a critical period in a young person’s life, these are the opportunities that ignite growth and change by sparking passions and interests, giving a sense of purpose to the present, and more importantly, to a young person’s future. Participating employers host students for a six-week period, on a selected day of the week for about two hours. The students leave school early for this opportunity. The experience is intended to ignite dreams and interests for underserved 8th-grade students.
