Why CareerWise?

More than an internship, apprenticeship is a multi-year program in which young people are trained by adult professionals to step into high-growth careers. Modern youth apprenticeship is student-centered, but for the program to be sustainable, it must be employer-led. CareerWise employers are essential in identifying workforce needs and the skills necessary to succeed in the future of work. In doing so, industry makes a paradigm shift from being simply consumers of talent, to producers of talent.
