“The Apprentice Learning program was my first real work experience. It showed me that I had options for my future jobs. If it wasn’t for the Apprentice Learning program, I would not have thought about my future profession at such young age. I personally always had a goal of college but the Apprentice Learning program opened my eyes to job opportunities.”
