The Youth Apprenticeship Program is designed to create compensated, high-quality youth apprenticeships that prepare students to enter employment in high-skilled, high-growth sectors. MCPS was approved to offer this Youth Apprenticeship Program in 2019. Students from all 25 comprehensive high schools may participate.
Participating students start the program in the summer or fall of their junior or senior year and must complete at least 450 hours of work-based training under the supervision of an eligible employer and at least one year of related instruction.
