Registered Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally recognized credential. This session, targeted towards high school students, will include presentations that explain the benefits of apprenticeship pathways, including pre-apprenticeship and youth apprenticeship, for students interested in pursuing careers that require cybersecurity skills. These pathways are especially critical in underserved communities, where there are often times limited opportunities to gain career exposure and digital literacy at early ages. Session participants will learn the benefits of this hands-on experience in a highly sought career field, what types of certifications you may receive upon completion, and what apprenticeship assistance is available nationwide.
