Summary
Frankfort Independent Schools has joined the U.S. Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship program, launching a two-year initiative in Information Technology for students in grades 11 and 12. This partnership with Dataseam offers students an invaluable opportunity to gain adult-level experience through coursework, on-the-job training, and paid employment within the school's technology department.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to address workforce shortages in Kentucky's technology sector, supported by funding from the Kentucky General Assembly. By equipping students with practical skills and real-world experience, the program aims to cultivate a new generation of skilled professionals ready to meet the demands of the evolving job market.
