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.
Spectrum of Apprenticeship Programs
In November 2024, DOL is launching a campaign to ensure high school students understand what apprenticeship is and how it can prepare them for incredible careers. This includes a poster for schools to hang and a series of Introduction to Apprenticeship presentations. These presentations are aimed at P-12 school leaders, parents, teachers, students, counselors and staff.
