Lisa Rowan CardinalNews.org reports on Virginia’s Youth Registered Apprenticeship Program that’s being offered at more than 30 school divisions across the State.  The program connects high school students in career and technical education programs with employers willing to take on young workers to train them in fields ranging from machining and construction to dental assisting and culinary arts.   Apprentices learn skills on the job site while they earn an hourly wage, making the experience attractive for young people eyeing this route instead of a traditional college experience.  And in an environment where Apprenticeships are an alternative to traditional higher education have widespread support, the program is destined to grow - feeding the jobs pipeline that Governor Glenn Youngkin claims is essential to Virginia’s economy.
