Freedom High School offers Youth Apprenticeship opportunities for juniors and seniors. This program blends academic and technical classroom learning with real-world, mentored on-the-job training. Students gain valuable experience, enhance their academic and technical skills, and develop the future-ready abilities identified by Wisconsin's business and educational leaders.
In order to participate students must:
- Be at grade level, both in required courses and credit count
- Passing all current class
- Earn 2.0 average for citizenship grade
- Attend required meetings with coordinator, Jamie Brown
|
- Juniors permitted one block off and seniors are permitted to leave for two blocks for hands-on learning in the workplace
- Juniors plan their schedules to ensure they can take required graduation courses, explore and pursue CTE electives that lead to certificates offered by FHS.
- Seniors plan their schedule to ensure they meet required graduation courses and pursue CTE concentrators at highest levels to complete certification programs.
- Students ideally gain experience working for someone other than a parent to broaden their perspective, though exceptions are considered.
