Youth and Registered Apprentices

Youth apprentices should contact their high school and employer to determine recommendations and continuity of operations plans and follow any Centers of Disease Control guidelines to ensure their health and safety in relation to COVID-19.

To provide flexibility for stakeholders, to reduce the burden on YA consortia, and to provide options for students to complete their 2020-2021 YA program, the Department of Workforce Development has extended the completion deadlines for the 2020-2021 completers. Students will have until October 31, 2021 to complete their program. Regional YA Coordinators will also have until October 31, 2021 to complete end of year completion documentation.

Registered Apprentices should work with their employer to determine recommendations and continuity of operations plans and follow any Centers for Disease Control guidelines to ensure their health and safety in relation to COVID-19.

Apprenticeship-related instruction is often provided by Wisconsin Technical Colleges and other training providers. Apprentices should check with their local training provider to determine if related instruction has been cancelled, moved to a remote learning format, or postponed.

Apprenticeship staff are working and available to assist via email or phone. Please find staff contact information on the Wisconsin Apprenticeship Contacts page.
