Leon Works Junior Apprenticeship program is now accepting applications for the Fall semester
for rising Juniors and Seniors!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Leon Works Junior Apprenticeship program, this program offers a wonderful opportunity
for Leon County high school juniors/seniors to prepare for a skilled career – those jobs requiring more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree. By the year 2026, over 70,000 skilled jobs will be available in the Leon County area. To prepare
students to fill these jobs, Leon County Government is partnering with CareerSource Capital Region and Leon County Schools to provide students with job readiness training and work experience! For one semester, selected students will work in a Leon County department
as a Junior Apprentice shadowing and assisting a County staff member in a skilled career field that the student is interested in pursuing. Junior Apprentices will also complete CareerSource Capital Region’s LEAP training to prepare them for entering the workforce
after graduation. In addition to gaining valuable work experience and training, Junior Apprentices earn an hourly salary and elective credit toward their high school diploma.
