Wisconsin Manufacturing Youth Apprenticeship Program

Our application process

We accept applications year-round! Our youth apprenticeship program is open to high school juniors and seniors. To experience the full program, we recommend applying in the spring of your sophomore year to enroll as a junior. We are also happy to explore spring junior enrollment or senior year enrollment options with you.

Once your application form has been submitted, fill out the records release form with your parent/guardian as instructed on the confirmation page. We’ll need this form to request records from your school and process your application.
