AURORA<\/strong> | Treyvon Greenwood thought he would go into the trades after graduation. A senior at Aurora\u2019s Smoky Hill High School, he was interested in becoming a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning technician.<\/p>\n

His trajectory changed when his English teacher heard Greenwood talk about his passion for tutoring other students. The teacher told his school counselor, who suggested Greenwood try a teaching apprenticeship instead.<\/p>\n

At first he was reluctant, but Greenwood has grown to love splitting his time between his classes at Smoky Hill High and apprenticing in a fifth grade classroom at nearby Sunrise Elementary School. The 18-year-old works much like a student teacher would and earns\u00a0.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI help them with their writing, and I just feel like they trust me,\u201d Greenwood said of the fifth graders. \u201cI think they know that if \u2018I\u2019m struggling with something, I can come straight to Mr. Trey.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Greenwood\u2019s experience is what state and business leaders had in mind when they launched the\u00a0CareerWise Colorado youth apprenticeship program in 2016. But it\u2019s also rare: Only 1,200 students statewide have taken part in CareerWise programs, according to its founder, who had envisioned 20,000 students participating in its first decade.<\/p>\n

The organization also takes credit for about 2,000 more apprentices who have participated in programs originally started by or inspired by CareerWise. Even including those students, that means CareerWise fell short by about 16,800 apprentices.<\/p>\n

There are\u00a0myriad reasons why: Some businesses have found they\u2019re not well-equipped to work with teenagers and left the program. School officials across the state say they\u2019ve struggled to convince families of the value of apprenticeships, which require students to commit to two to three years of balancing school and work. Apprenticeships also compete for students with an increasing variety of other educational options, from college preparation to internships to less time-intensive career education programs.<\/p>\n

Noel Ginsburg, a Colorado businessperson who founded CareerWise, described his original goals for program participation as \u201cwell-intentioned and ill-informed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ten years in, CareerWise offers an important case study in the challenges of offering robust on-the-job training for high school students, an idea that has\u00a0widespread bipartisan support and increasing investment from the public and private sectors\u00a0but can be difficult to execute on a large scale.<\/p>\n

Youth apprenticeships viewed as an idea that could create its \u201cown natural momentum\u201d<\/h2>\n

Backed by\u00a0$9.5 million from JP Morgan Chase and Bloomberg Philanthropies,Ginsburg envisioned students being trained in such fields as healthcare, banking, finance, and the trades. (Bloomberg Philanthropies is a supporter of Chalkbeat.)<\/p>\n

Juniors and seniors would earn their high school diploma and job training, plus valuable industry certifications or time spent working toward a two-year college degree. A post-graduation year would be spent getting more work experience and could include college enrollment. CareerWise would help build a trained workforce in Colorado while offering some students a cheaper alternative to a two- or four-year degree. Others, like Greenwood, might spark an interest in a different-than-expected career path that still requires a college degree.<\/p>\n

The idea for CareerWise came from Switzerland. There, youth apprenticeships are embedded in the culture. About\u00a0two out of every three young people\u00a0participate, and businesses line up to recruit those students into nearly 250 different occupations.<\/p>\n

Ginsburg visited Switzerland in 2015\u00a0to see this model in action. At the time, he headed Intertech Plastics, a Denver-based plastics manufacturer he founded, and he was struggling to hire skilled mid-level workers.<\/p>\n

Ginsburg was so impressed with what he saw that he led a delegation of 50 Colorado business and civic leaders, including then-Gov. John Hickenlooper, to Switzerland the following year. The globe-trot laid the groundwork for the creation of CareerWise.<\/p>\n

Youth apprenticeships weren\u2019t new in the United States;\u00a0Wisconsin\u2019s pioneering program was established in 1991. But by the end of the trip, Hickenlooper said he was convinced that Colorado could take the lead, mainly because of Ginsburg\u2019s dedication and vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we do this properly, in three years there should be as deep a foundation and rooting of this that it will have its own natural momentum,\u201d Hickenlooper said in\u00a0a video documenting the trip.<\/p>\n

Ginsburg didn\u2019t want CareerWise Colorado, the nonprofit he eventually created, to run the programs. Instead he wanted to connect schools and employers with the know-how to prop up two- to three-year apprenticeship programs and ensure they received crucial but difficult-to-earn federal recognition for program quality.<\/p>\n

Students in four school districts \u2014 Denver Public Schools, Cherry Creek School District, Jeffco Public Schools, and Mesa County Valley School District 51 \u2014 began apprenticing in 2017.<\/p>\n

Today, only three of the four districts are still involved with CareerWise, and their success rate varies. District 51 continues to offer youth apprenticeship programs through a partnership with its local chamber but without CareerWise\u2019s support in the last two years. About 65 apprentices have completed Jeffco\u2019s program. Denver has had 272 students complete apprenticeships but is reworking its agreement with CareerWise.<\/p>\n

Cherry Creek offers some of the most robust CareerWise options, including in information technology, advanced manufacturing, hospitality, and teaching.<\/p>\n

But getting students interested in apprenticeships is hard, even for a district as successful as Cherry Creek, school counselors said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think that parents sometimes have reservations, just because they\u2019ve grown up in this: They should go to college,\u201d said Cady Hobbs, a counseling coordinator at Grandview High School.<\/p>\n

Some apprenticeships can lead to college, as it has for Greenwood, who plans to attend Metropolitan State University of Denver and participate in a program for Black educators. But that type of path might not be as easily understood by parents.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, districts like Denver and Cherry Creek offer so many career-related opportunities, from career exploration classes to summer internships, that it creates competition with their own apprenticeship programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis landscape is a lot broader than I think anyone may have realized in 2016 or 2017,\u201d said Theress Pidick, the Denver district\u2019s youth career development director.<\/p>\n

CareerWise\u2019s revolving door of businesses<\/h2>\n

Another big hurdle to growing apprenticeships has been the revolving door of businesses that are willing and able to host and train a high schooler.<\/p>\n

Ginsburg said in an April roundtable event that getting and keeping businesses engaged has been one of the hardest challenges for CareerWise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we don\u2019t have are the companies that see this as not just an imperative to do the right thing for their community but how important this is to their bottom line,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

CareerWise launched with\u00a0. By the second year, about 25 returned. The number of employers has ebbed and flowed over the years, with 29 actively working with apprentices. The reasons why they\u2019ve stopped participating vary.<\/p>\n

Some, like Mikron Denver, now run their own programs, separate from CareerWise.<\/p>\n

Eagle County Paramedic Services tried CareerWise for a year before realizing students needed to have certain certifications that could be only earned when they turned 18. Insurance also wouldn\u2019t cover student ambulance drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we really did go into it with the best intentions, but there\u2019s no way to know everything it\u2019s going to take,\u201d said Katie Coakley, the organization\u2019s marketing and communications specialist.<\/p>\n

John Halloran, a regional manager with construction business RA Nelson, said his Eagle County company loved having an apprentice. The student worked full time over the summer, but once the school year got underway it became difficult to balance schoolwork with the constantly evolving schedules of construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hours and the pace didn\u2019t really align,\u201d Halloran said. \u201cBut I\u2019d love to try it again and see if we can make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vinz Koller, vice president of the Center for Apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning at Jobs for the Future, a nonprofit focused on expanding economic opportunities, agrees not enough businesses see the importance, unlike in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chicken and egg challenge we have is until you have enough opportunities, it\u2019s going to be very hard for the youth and for parents to feel like this is an option,\u201d Koller said.<\/p>\n

Some places have made it work. In Eagle County, which has participated since 2017,\u00a0the dedication of a single employee\u00a0\u2014 a former teacher who coordinates business participation through the local chamber of commerce \u2014 has made a difference. CareerWise Eagle County and the school district have shortened its program from three years to two so students aren\u2019t choosing between college and an apprenticeship.<\/p>\n

Warren Barker, a manager of supply chain logistics at Vail Health Hospital, said he believes his company\u2019s participation in CareerWise represents an investment in Eagle County. Vail Health has employed 27 apprentices to date, though not every student ends up staying.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing I get to do in my job, by far, is seeing the caliber of students who go through the program,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then being able to help get them focused into whatever is next for them, be it with Vail Health, hopefully, or anything else that they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

CareerWise has changed its apprenticeship programs<\/h2>\n

In response to the challenges it\u2019s experienced \u2014 and in a bid to meet the current demand for more workforce training programs \u2014 CareerWise has pivoted.<\/p>\n

Instead of focusing just on 16- to 18-year-olds, CareerWise has started pre-apprenticeships that help younger students prepare for an apprenticeship. And it\u2019s also helping grow post-high school apprenticeships for young adults up to age 24, similar to the Switzerland program, Ginsburg said.<\/p>\n

One example is its partnership with CoorsTek, a manufacturing company in Golden that makes ceramic parts used in computers, tanks and armor, and wind turbines, among others. With the help of\u00a0CareerWise and a $4.58 million state grant, the company is using its\u00a0CoorsTek Academy, an in-house training program launched in 2021 as a regional training hub, to teach apprentices ages 18-24. The first cohort of five started last year to learn skills to become mid-level Computer Numerical Control, or CNC, operators.<\/p>\n

They will graduate able to troubleshoot complex issues, fix the machine when necessary, and program it, which will help them earn higher pay.<\/p>\n

Andrew Sutliff, a 19-year-old CoorsTek apprentice who graduated from Cherry Creek\u2019s school district last year, said\u00a0he\u2019s learning a lot in a short time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like they\u2019re cramming a lot that some people who have been here for four years don\u2019t even begin to learn,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Even if he doesn\u2019t get hired by CoorsTek full time, Sutliff said it\u2019s a good opportunity to make himself more valuable to other companies.<\/p>\n

CareerWise has also shifted from trying to grow a big program in Colorado to sprouting a host of smaller programs in other states. Ginsburg has helped prop up apprenticeship programs in\u00a0New York\u00a0and\u00a0Elkhart County, Indiana. And more locations are likely.<\/p>\n

With a\u00a0$12.5 million federal grant, CareerWise launched the\u00a0Future Ready Apprenticeship Center\u00a0in 2025. The center provides $200,000 grants to connect other states with the lessons learned here and elsewhere, including program design, policy expertise, and funding.<\/p>\n

In addition to government grants, CareerWise itself is receiving more philanthropic support than ever, including\u00a0$7 million from MacKenzie Scott\u2019s YieldGiving foundation\u00a0in 2023.<\/p>\n

Even if he didn\u2019t meet his original participation goals, Ginsburg still believes in the potential of widespread apprenticeship offerings for youth in Colorado. He believes the next decade won\u2019t be just about tough lessons but opportunities to grow youth apprenticeships.<\/p>\n

However, his expectations about how fast the program can grow have changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a long way to go,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
