INFORMATION FOR PARENTS & STUDENTS
Apprenticeships are employer-driven so the employer decides who to hire. Employers are investing in students when they hire them with their own business’ assets. This is an opportunity for a student to grow in their ability and gain responsibility in the workplace. The goal of the Saint Joseph School District is educating each child for success. This program values community partnership as a means to provide students with personal and professional growth opportunities.
