NEWYA
Wisconsin's Youth Apprenticeship program is a part of a statewide School-to-Work initiative. It is designed for high school students who want hands-on learning in an occupational area at a worksite along with classroom instruction. The Northeastern Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship consortium (NEWYA) is taking YA to new heights and combines the strengths of three organizations - CESA 7, the Greater Green Bay Chamber, and the success of the former Anhapee Consortium - to create a streamlined process for students to connect with employers and gain valuable workforce experience as a youth apprentice.
PRIMARY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Youth apprenticeship engagement, situated within the comprehensive career and college readiness service model of the Northeast Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship (NEWYA), will ensure a clear pathway for measurable gains in student achievement, a diploma by design for all students, and strengthened communities.
