About.

The MD Youth Apprenticeship program for 11th and 12th graders. An ideal apprenticeship candidate is a student who wants to gain experience in the workplace with plans to continue in that industry after graduation. Employers are approved through the Maryland Department of Labor. A listing of available apprenticeship positions and employers is included on the Current Openings page here. Interested students must apply using the student application on the Student Information page here or from their High School Work Based Learning Coordinator. Student applications are turned into the WBL and forwarded to the employer;  employers select applicants to interview. If a student is hired, they are employed in paid part-time positions under the cooperative supervision of the employer/mentor and the Work Based Learning Coordinator. Most students are scheduled for Apprenticeships for two ninety minute periods of a school day. Apprentices are responsible for arranging their own transportation.
