This week is National Apprenticeship Week. CESA 8 schools work with the Northwoods YA Consortium to provide opportunities for students to learn on the job, earn credits for working, and even leave school to go to work! Youth Apprentices have the opportunity to get a jumpstart on their careers and grow their bank accounts! If you would like to explore this great opportunity, please visit www.northwoodsya.weebly.com.
