MYA is a career-education pathway for area businesses that helps build a viable, local workforce for high-demand, hard-to-fill positions. It provides high school juniors the opportunity to get paid to learn as youth apprentices. Youth apprentices receive paid on-the-job training along with job-related education at MTC.
Earn experience and a paycheck before graduation.

These programs can be developed as a recruiting tool to help you attract new employees or even as a retention strategy to help continue to grow and further develop your current employees. In either scenario, it creates long, rewarding career paths for your employees and helps to build loyalty and stability within your workforce.
