Employer Comment:
This is a program that has a reciprocal effect. Not only is it an excellent opportunity for businesses to give back by training today’s youth to be productive professionals in the workforce, but the training & experience that mentors are able to provide helps give each student the best competitive edge possible for the rest of their working life. Often, the students that participate in the Youth Apprenticeship come back during college breaks, helping out businesses during those lean-staffed times and some even continue on as employees after graduation.
