UW Health Healthcare Youth Apprenticeships

Decision facts

What we could verify

These facts describe the reviewed pathway. Program registration and current availability are separate checks; neither confirms an open seat or a job offer.

Registration status

UW Health describes a Wisconsin youth-apprenticeship work-and-learn program for eligible high school students; the page does not establish Registered Apprenticeship status.

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.

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.
