metro summer Apprenticeships

The Metro Achievement Center Apprenticeship Program is an immersive experiential learning program. Summer Apprentices will learn marketable skills from a professional in one of the following fields: Business, Engineering, Film or Hospitality. The skills and experience they obtain through the apprenticeships can be used on their college and job resumes. They will also develop critical thinking, communication and decision-making skills, which will allow them to excel in the workplace.  Apprentices demonstrate their acquired skills by giving presentations and completing a final project. Students may also earn a cash stipend upon completion of their final apprenticeship project.

As always, Metro students will start their day with character education classes and will have instructors and staff available for individual appointments to encourage their social and emotional development in addition to their academic and career progress.
