Description
The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) wholly believes that all students, whether career- or college-bound, can benefit from work-based learning experiences in high school. The Youth Apprenticeship (YA) program through the DWD offers a consortium-model grant to sustain and expand work-based learning opportunities for students. CESA 9 manages and facilitates the activities of the CESA 9 YA Grant Consortium, which works with regional school districts and a local steering committee to implement and coordinate YA programming. CESA 9 is the fiscal agent for the consortium’s grant funds, which are shared with consortium districts to offset youth apprenticeship costs.
CESA 9 YA services include:
-
Development of grant application detailing the consortium’s activities as determined by the steering committee
-
Preparation and submission of required budgets, expenditure reporting, and claims
-
Maintenance of fiscal records
-
Submission of individual student applications and completion forms to DWD
-
Technical assistance and support to districts
-
Grant requirement oversight
Consortium districts are responsible for assigning a local YA coordinator and providing time for the coordinator to meet the requirements of the YA program.
