Apprentice Day

Welcome to National Apprentice Day, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization connecting kids to their dream job. This program is free for kids and businesses, donation funded. 

Our program operates in West Virginia and is designed to provide students with real-world experience in identified areas of career interest by working in partnership with nearby businesses and industries, schools, medical facilities, government, and other community and service organizations. Cooperating partners act as mentors, guiding the students as they work toward gaining practical experiences that align with their personal learning goals. Each student apprentice gains knowledge of the entry-level requirements of a profession and experiences the real-life work environment.

Apprentice Day has served over 250 students and companies since 2015. This includes over 30 companies who join as employers. We are working with these employers to help build a more dependable, more adaptable, and highly skilled workforce.
