Youth Apprenticeship - Broome Delaware Tioga BOCES - Practical Nursing Program

Youth Apprenticeship from Broome Delaware Tioga BOCES - Practical Nursing Program is a Campus Certificate Youth Services degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. The Youth Apprenticeship Program offers high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to see direct connections between school learning and employment while working in their occupational field of interest. The objectives of the program are for participating students to: * Discover the relevance of academic course work to specific work experiences * Develop a broad knowledge of the educational requirements, career pathways, and job responsibilities within a specific occupational area * Develop technical and high-performance work skills * Plan and execute a long-term project and present findings in a public setting How It Works Youth apprentices leave school for part of the day and typically work between 10 and 20 hours per week. Apprentices are employees who are paid a wage during the on-the-job portion of their training. They rotate through a series of placements within one of five career areas: Manufacturing and Engineering Technology, Hospitality Management, Food Retail Management, Business/Information Systems, or Health Care. In each placement, apprentices are directed by one or more coaches who teach and supervise them. Youth apprentices may earn up to five Regents credits over two years, and may continue in the program through the first two years of college. Their learning objectives are listed in technical competencies groupings which serve both as a plan for what they will learn and a record of what they have learned. All technical competencies are aligned with the NY State Learning Standards for Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) and the National Skill Standards (where applicable).
