Youth Apprenticeship is a one or two year elective program that combines academic and technical classroom instruction with mentored, on the job learning for high school students. The program is managed by Dane County School Consortium for students entering their junior or senior year in high school. Students are required to attend related classes at Marshall High School or take an evening class at a separate school or location, or attend a class at Madison College. In each of these settings you will receive high school credit. Depending on your apprenticeship, you may work at your job site during the school day, evening, weekend, or summer for which you will be paid. In order to meet your Youth Apprenticeship requirements, you will need to clear some hours in your class schedule to make room for work hours.
-One-year program = 450 to 480 hours = 2 credits
-Two year program = 900 to 960 hours = 4 credits
