CareerWise 's labour and employment department has partnered with non-profit organisation Colorado Colorado to develop an apprenticeship initiative based on a successful Swiss model. The goal is to better position students to save time and money in college and compete for jobs and to supply a bigger pool of skilled workers for Colorado companies. The state apprenticeship programme allows tens of thousands students to work part-time with firms in the information technology, finance, business operations and advanced manufacturing sectors, earning at least the minimum wage and gaining college credits. The state hopes the scheme will not only encourage students to stay in education but also address a skills gap, which has left K-12 of job openings unfilled.
