[quote=Anonymous]I'm glad you shared this. These apprentice programs can lead to sustaining and interesting employment. The hard part for many candidates is the level of education required (HS diploma or GED). Literacy (including mathematical) is a requirement for the sophisticated apprenticeships. It is important to provide opportunities for young people to visit these programs while in HS so they see a reason to stay on track, and to support GED programs so that those who deviate can get back on board. Lacking a visualization of future possibility can lead to disengagement from school, so I hope school leaders bring these folks in. It would be great if they were, but not sure how many of our city's 13-16 year olds are combing through the Post every day.[/quote]
