Youth Apprentice Program
You’ve heard about the exciting work-based learning opportunities through apprenticeship offered in partnership with CareerWise Colorado. Apprenticeship provides additional avenues to college and career success. It is on-the-job learning in career pathways such as financial services, business operations and information technology. 

Watch this short film about why youth apprenticeship is an important innovation to our education system.

To be eligible for apprenticeship, students need only be on-track to graduate. If your student is interested, they should speak with Karina Weymouth at: karina_weymouth@dpsk12.net or in Room 119A. From that initial meeting we can help with the application process, including resume and interview preparation and exploring the open apprentice positions in our area.

For an idea of the types of apprenticeships that will be available, visit CareerWise’s occupations page. When the CareerWise Hiring Hub goes live on February 22nd, specific opportunities with employers can be found here
