Hortonville Area School District - School-to-Work and Apprenticeships

School-Supervised Work-Based Opportunities
Wisconsin students have many opportunities to learn about the world of work. The majority of students work sometime during their high school years. Students who participate in school-supervised work-based learning have additional opportunities to gain employability skills, and with many programs, occupational skills related to their high school courses. School-supervised work-based learning reinforces the connection between work and school, provides an opportunity for meaningful contact with adults/mentors, improves their chances for successful employment as young adults, and helps solidify career interests.

Youth Apprenticeship (link to additional information)
The Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship program integrates school-based and work-based learning. Students accepted into an approved Youth Apprenticeship program will continue taking classes at their high school while working as an apprentice at a participating business. Students will be enrolled in a technical class related to their youth apprenticeship program. These courses may be offered at either their high school or off-campus. CESA 6 website has more information. If you are interested in participating in Youth Apprenticeship, please fill out an APPLICATION.
