To participate in the Modern Apprenticeship Program, students need parental/guardian permission, good school attendance, and must be on track to graduate. They should provide proof of authorization to work in the United States and have schedule flexibility to incorporate work experience. Additionally, being in a pathway aligned with apprenticeship or eligible for related instruction is essential.

During recruitment for the Modern Apprenticeship program, the Outreach and Recruitment Specialist assigned to each school serves as the point of contact.
