This route explains how verified access begins; it does not guarantee selection, placement, employment, certification, or licensure.
What families should know
A school-routed UW Health youth-apprenticeship route for eligible high school students to explore paid healthcare work during the annual recruitment cycle.
Decision facts
What we could verify
Registration confirms a program relationship. It does not, by itself, confirm that an employer is currently accepting apprentices.
- Service area
- Eligible students enrolled through participating Dane County school-based youth-apprenticeship programs.
- Listed location
- WI This may be a sponsor, training, or service region, not a work site.
- Delivery mode
- in person
- Who the verified information describes
- Rising high school juniors and seniors who are enrolled in a school-based youth-apprenticeship program and work through their school district's Youth Apprenticeship Coordinator.
- Eligibility
-
- Be at least 16, a rising high school junior or senior, and enrolled in a school-based youth-apprenticeship program before UW Health will consider an application.
- Meet the stated work-hour, transportation, related-course, prior-work-experience, and role-specific requirements; Nursing Assistant placements require current Nursing Assistant certification.
- Compensation
- UW Health says youth apprentices learn on the job for a wage; no wage amount, placement, employment offer, or ongoing job is guaranteed.
- Duration
- The UW Health youth-apprenticeship program year runs from July to July; apprentices may be hired for one year as rising seniors or up to two years as rising juniors, with at least 450 hours per school year.
- Credential
- Youth apprentices earn school credit under the school-based program; the current page does not guarantee certification, later adult apprenticeship, college admission, or licensure.
Next action
What happens next
Contact your high school district’s Youth Apprenticeship Coordinator about enrollment and current program details; UW Health will not consider an application before that school-coordinated step, and coordinator contact does not guarantee a placement or employment.
Fit and tradeoffs
Questions to resolve before applying
- This is a high-school youth apprenticeship route for eligible juniors and seniors, not a guaranteed adult apprenticeship or permanent job.
- Recruitment follows the annual school cycle, placements vary each year, and students must meet school, work-hour, transportation, coursework, certification when applicable, and interview requirements.
