Youth Apprenticeship Accelerator

This week, educators from the Francis Howell, Orchard Farm, and Wentzville school districts were officially registered with Career WayZ U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Coordinators. These new programs are made possible thanks to the support of local manufacturers, who have partnered to host apprentice students and cover consultant, certification, and training costs. Companies including Component Bar, National Cart, Quest Specialty Products, Seyer Industries, Trinity Products, and True Manufacturing are leading the effort, with more employers expected to come on board soon. This expansion is spearheaded by consultant Cynthia Walker of Career Wayz, whose leadership has been instrumental in driving the program forward.
