Youth Apprenticeship

May 2024 - As part of the inaugural National Youth Apprenticeship Week, NYSDOL is increasing awareness about Registered Apprenticeships and pathways into them, including career exploration and pre-apprenticeship programs. Registered Apprenticeship programs are open to individuals as young as 16 years old while they're still in high school.

Youth Apprenticeship Week celebrates the spectrum of work-based learning models, where you can apply classroom learning in a real-world setting surrounded by experts in their field.
