Youth Apprenticeships

Youth Apprentice (WUWM)Apprenticeships Give MPS Students Real-World Work Experience

What does it take to get students college and career ready? Milwaukee Public Schools is finding that preparing kids for their next steps involves more than just classroom instruction — in some cases, students need hands-on experience in the work world. That’s something MPS is working to provide for students as it grows an in-house Youth Apprenticeship Program. More from WUWM.
