Summary
St. Johnsbury Academy has launched a new Career and Technical Education Program in collaboration with Vermont State University, allowing students to become registered apprentices in high-demand fields such as electrical, heating, and plumbing. This initiative enables high school students to complete one or two-year apprenticeships while still in school, providing them with valuable skills and experience.
The introduction of this program aligns with the growing need for skilled workers in various trades, offering students a practical pathway to successful careers. By integrating apprenticeship opportunities into the high school curriculum, St. Johnsbury Academy is contributing to a stronger workforce and addressing industry demands.
