This document discusses Washington state's youth apprenticeship program. It is an employer-driven program that launched in 2016 to incorporate registered youth apprenticeships. The program places high school students as apprentices with employers, where they receive on-the-job training and supplemental instruction. Students can earn high school and college credits through the program. They work part-time during the school year and full-time in the summer, gaining experience in industries like manufacturing, aerospace, and automation. The program benefits both students and employers by providing skilled training opportunities and a pipeline of future skilled workers.
