Leon Works Junior Apprentice Program
Earn a paycheck while gaining hands-on experience in a skilled career field!
Now accepting applications from all Leon County High School Juniors and Seniors
attending a Charter, Private, Public or LCS Virtual School!
The Leon Works Junior Apprenticeship Program is an 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. Please directions and website below.

Once a student submits the application, the School Guidance Counselor will receive an email notification of the submission. The School Guidance Counselor will need to click on “Open request” to
verify the student’s eligibility to participate and the accuracy of their school information entered. Although applications are accepted year-round there are cutoff dates for each semester to ensure adequate time for application review, interviewing and paperwork
processing. Application deadline for this upcoming Spring semester is October 31st.
Please Note: All applications
must be verified for eligibility and accuracy by the School Counselor to be accepted.
