At one New York City high school, students are getting the chance to apprentice and gain career-ready work experience thanks to one educational program.
Imagine going to high school, then spending afternoons making money in an apprenticeship at a place like JP Morgan Chase.
High school students in this New York City public high school program then graduate and go right into these jobs, full time. Toshan works in computers at Accenture. He says college may still be in the cards, but for now, he is making great money and deciding where he wants to focus next."We have learned about investments and how to use your money, how to invest it, 401s, and IRAs," Sukhandan said.Parents are on board as the kids move straight from high school into jobs in computers making $60,000 to $100,000 a year and this is also expanding to programs in teaching, nursing, and radiology.
"We hear a lot about the skill shortage, the talent gap that employers are looking to solve, this one of those win-win opportunities," said Grieve, the chief of Student Pathways.
