It's Youth Apprenticeship Week!!
Youth Apprenticeship Week (YAW) is a nationwide celebration that highlights the benefits and value of Registered Apprenticeship program opportunities for youth, ages 16–24.
New Hampton
"Our school began the Apprenticeship Program exploration this Fall. Our community is looking for skilled workers, and we are looking for a way to help meet the needs of our local industries and expand student skills. We approached a company as they are always looking for welders, and we have several students interested in that field. With a new Industrial Technology teacher, we explored possibilities to create an apprenticeship program with the classes we were currently offering. By November, Iowa Works was able to help us create this program, and we began looking for the right candidate. After interviewing students interested, the company decided to hire one of our students as a trial. It has been very successful as our student is doing well on the job and making academic gains in the school working toward successful graduation next year. Working with the business is important, and there is a lot of communication back and forth as we learn together. We are hopeful to add another position potentially for next school year as well. The success of this first RA has begun discussions in other areas around our community."

7th Grade FCS did their last lab of making and baking banana bread with chocolate chips. The classroom smelled just like my grandmother's house. Actually the recipe was from Mrs. Schmitt's Grandma Medberry! The students did well with this difficult lab and they will enjoy eating their quick bread tomorrow.
