CO-OP

CO-OP is designed for students to gain work experience and develop career skills in real employment. Students may already have established a work connection that would qualify, or may be assisted in finding an appropriate employment. Students will qualify for work release time and credit.

Youth Apprenticeship

Youth Apprenticeship is a work experience that meets the standards of the state for a certificate in one of the fields listed by the Wisconsin Deptartment of Workforce Development (DWD). Most areas require some experience or school course work to qualify. This program requires 450 hours of paid work in an approved setting with an established training plan specific to the career path and the job title.

Students may enter at the end of their sophomore year for a 2-year certificate and complete 900 hours and additional skills for their certificate. Some areas of YA are recognized by major trade unions for post high school journeyman credit.
