In this model, we will partner with middle schools in under resourced communities to provide two days of high quality apprenticeship programming a week. Focused on developing college and career readiness and 21st century learning skills, these hands on learning experiences will connect students to professionals from all walks of life while igniting their imaginations to their potential.
