Youth Apprenticeship
Through the Youth Apprenticeship program, area companies have found skilled
workers who add value to their organization.
Students participate in these programs for one to two years therefore employers
establish long term working relationships with students. This reduces the training
time and provides a link to a younger workforce. Innovative Machine Specialists,
Inc. stated many of their students have continued working with them after
graduation and also tell friends about their company creating exposure to the
younger generation workforce.
Students are available to work evenings, holidays and weekends, therefore they
help fill scheduling gaps relieving the workload from full-time employees so
they can take vacation. Marshfield Savings Bank said “Youth Apprenticeship
students are the key to filling gaps in our scheduling, such as weekends,
summers, holiday time etc. This makes it easier for all of us to take off and
spend time with our families.”
Youth Apprenticeship students are able to assist with special projects and with
time consuming tasks, therefore higher paid and trained employees have more time
to work on higher payout projects. Marshfield Clinic utilized their Youth
Apprentice student backing up and clearing old hard drives. This freed up their
full time information technology personnel to build and test new hard drives.
The Youth Apprenticeship Program is a paid one to two year program for high school
juniors and seniors that combines academic instruction, technical skills and on
the job experience. This industry lead program is offered in areas where there
is a demand for skilled workers. Not only does the Youth Apprenticeship program
provide students with an opportunity to get experience in a career area of
interest, it provides employers with an opportunity to build and train their
