Jump Start Your Future with YA
|
Youth Apprenticeship (YA) is a 1- or 2-year program that gives high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a career while earning academic credit. Through this program, students can spend part of their school day working in a variety of industries or trades, developing professional skills, and receiving mentorship — all while completing their high school education. Sheboygan Lutheran partners with Cooperative Educational Service Agency 6 (CESA 6) to offer youth apprenticeship opportunities to our students. Learn more below, or contact LHS School Counselor, Mrs. McKnight, to get started.
