Youth Apprenticeships
STUDENTS can test out construction as a career option
Although youth apprenticeships are in high school and ABC of Wisconsin doesn’t really have any part in the youth apprenticeship program, we are very familiar with them. ABC of Wisconsin was celebrated at the state level for having the most construction youth apprentices bridge to the adult registered apprenticeship than any other apprenticeship committee. In addition, ABC of Wisconsin staff sit on several Youth Apprenticeship advisory committees. If you are looking for connections to local construction contractors, ABC of Wisconsin is here to help.

Most people don’t realize apprenticeship is a career area with lots of opportunities. Getting into employment earlier means there’s lots of potential for to progress quickly. After putting skills into practice, your child could become a master craftsperson and/or land a leadership role at a company, such as foreman, crew leader, jobsite superintendent or project manager. Some apprentices start their own businesses or go back to school for a two-year construction management degree at a technical college and then apply that to a four-year building construction management degree at a university.
