From April 26-May 2, organizations across the country are recognizing the power of apprenticeships. CCV is proudly celebrating National Apprenticeship Week alongside the many partners who join us in connecting education to high-demand career opportunities across Vermont.
As a junior at Southwest Tech, Jenn Coonradt was working at a local bagel shop when she heard about a unique program: the Vermont Early Childhood Education Youth Apprenticeship. This was a chance for the Human Services student to explore her interest in teaching, and she’d also be able to earn free, transferable college credits and get valuable work experience with a local employer.
