Over 99% of Wisconsin’s public school districts have offered Youth Apprenticeship to for the 2025-26 school year. Youth Apprenticeship programs are quite literally “building” Wisconsin’s future workforce—that’s what happens when you link real-world experience with education.

The innovative “earn-while-you-learn" model allows apprentices to earn money while they learn in the classroom and on the job. Earning a wage while pursuing a career path means more people can participate, and employers across industries are rewarded with a skilled workforce.
