Junior Apprenticeship

Get paid while you learn! The Leon Works Junior Apprenticeship Program is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to gain work experience in a skilled career field. A skilled career requires more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree and includes some of the most in-demand and high paying jobs.

By 2026, over 70,000 skilled jobs will be available in the Leon County area alone. To prepare students to fill these jobs, Leon county government is partnering with CareerSource Capital Region and Leon County schools to provide job readiness training and work experience.

For one semester, Junior Apprentices will work in a Leon County department where they’ll receive hands-on training, an hourly salary and elective credit towards their high school diploma.

Careers include:

-Computer Aided Design

-Construction Contract Management

-Emergency Medical Services

-Fleet mechanic
