MONTANA YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP
PARTNERSHIP

How does the youth apprenticeship program work? Apprenticeships have helped workers train for careers working in high demand occupations for hundreds of years, primarily in the trades. Several US states have established youth apprenticeship programs that have been successfully operating for many years. Through the support of the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship, the Montana Youth Apprenticeship Partnership (MYAP) is launching a program for Montana students.

Like any apprenticeship program, participating students will be hired by an employer who will
provide paid, on-the-job training; students will complete defined related technical instruction with financial assistance from their employer to pay for these classes; and students will earn pay
increases as they progress through their training schedule and demonstrate competency
attainment.

montana college access network | mcan

Established in 2008, Montana College Access Network (MCAN) is a 501c3 non-profit that helps advance the goal of all Montanans achieving their career and lifestyle aspiration through higher education.
In 2008, several college access professionals got together and recognized the isolated work that each region of Montana does to increase Montana’s rates of post-secondary attendance. The work that each person did often overlapped and could be more effective if the individual programs worked together to share their experiences and ideas. MCAN became the table for all higher education access and success professionals in Montana. As a stand-alone organization, MCAN matched the Goal 2025 objective set by the Lumina Foundation; Goal 2025 seeks to get degree attainment up to 60% to better the future of American employees. MCAN also recognizes the importance and value in getting certificates and two-year degrees.
