Youth Apprenticeship (YA) is a 1- or 2-year program that gives juniors and seniors in high school the chance to explore a career area of interest. Students spend part of their school day earning credit and wages while they gain valuable industry experience under the guidance of a local business mentor. 🌟
Employers are also encouraged to engage in ongoing conversations with the students regarding the potential for ongoing employment and post-secondary education recommendations tied to the careers that they were exposed to.
Every Youth Apprentice student that successfully completes the career path program requirements will earn an Occupational Skills Proficiency Certification. This certification verifies that they have gained the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to be successful in their chosen industry within the state of Wisconsin.

Did you know that the School District of Omro offers a wide variety of classes that provide both High School and Postsecondary credit?
Omro students have the opportunity to enroll in dual-credit courses - CAPP, AP, and/or FVTC courses. These options give our Omro students a strong educational foundation as they prepare for 2-year or 4-year colleges.
By acquiring post-secondary credits while in High School, our students could also save time and money when they move on to college.
Are you interested in learning more about our CAPP, AP, and FVTC course offerings? Check out our Curriculum and Instruction website for more information (omro.k12.wi.us/page/curriculum-instruction).
Today, November 19, schools across Wisconsin are publicly releasing their State Report Card. The School District of Omro once again achieved Exceeds Expectations!
