Mid-State Technical College will host its annual Youth Apprenticeship (YA) to Registered Apprenticeship (RA) Showcase on Wednesday, Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Wisconsin Rapids Campus.

Current and prospective Youth Apprenticeship students and those interested in Registered Apprenticeships are invited to attend the YA to RA Showcase. Attendees will learn how skills and knowledge gained through YA are transferable to an RA or an in-demand program at Mid-State. Participants will also learn how to get connected to start a registered apprenticeship and have the opportunity to meet local employers that support both youth and registered apprenticeships.

“The YA to RA Showcase is held each year in November during National Apprenticeship Week to highlight the many apprenticeship pathways that are available through Mid-State,” said Jackie Esselman, dean of Recruitment and Admissions. “This event brings together all aspects of an apprenticeship from the classroom learning to the hands-on, real-world experiences in the field.”

“Apprenticeship work is so important in today’s workforce,” Esselman added. “Hosting this collaborative event with local employers that support apprenticeship training is a great way to bring awareness of new opportunities to youth.”
