Apprenticeship Maryland Needs You!

It is our goal to develop a talented workforce that will lead Harford County into the future and we want to you join us in the endeavor!

Apprenticeship Maryland is a youth-based apprenticeship program for high school students looking to enter the workforce upon graduation. Students are hired by a local business to work in and learn about the industry. Upon graduation, these students receive a certificate from the Department of Labor and can be hired full-time by the business they worked for, providing the businesses with a new, personally-trained employee.

Harford County is looking to grow this opportunity and we need your help! If you are a business that can hire a student at minimum wage for 450 hours (to be completed over the course of the program) please reach out to Joe at Joseph.Connolly@hcps.org. This is open to any industry, but there is high demand for IT, hospitality, and architecture. If you are able to provide on the job training, that is a bonus! If not, the schools will work with you to provide the students with needed education.
