CareerWise Colorado is a business-led nonprofit implementing statewide, three-year modern youth apprenticeships for high school students. This year, the program launched its second cohort of over 120 new apprentices in Denver, Eagle County, and Grand Junction. CareerWise apprentices split their time between their traditional high school classroom and the workplace. They earn a wage while receiving hands-on experience where they can apply their classroom learning each week. At the end of the program, students will have:
– meaningful work experience
– a nationally-recognized industry certification
– a professional network
– the opportunity to earn debt-free college credit
