High School Youth On the Job Training and Apprenticeship Fair Information

Today, nearly three in four jobs in Colorado will require some education beyond high school which includes a certificate, two year or four-year degree. Yet today, only 46% of youth in Adams County enroll in post-secondary programs and only 39% of those youth complete their program within six years.

To raise awareness of career pathways and apprenticeship opportunities, ACEC is coordinating a High School Youth On the Job Training and Apprenticeship Fair targeted to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors in School District 27J, Adams 12 Five Star Schools, Adams 14 School District, Bennett School District, Mapleton Public Schools, Pinnacle Charter Schools, Strasburg School District and Westminster Public Schools.

  • The Fair enables hundreds of students to learn about non-traditional career pathways from business professionals.  Organizations will promote opportunities for on-the-job training in high demand careers in an engaging and interactive environment.
  • What companies should participate? Companies and community colleges with specialized training/education that lead to career pathways: Apprenticeship/Internship/Certificate/paid on the job upskill training. ****This is not a fair for seasonal or temporary work
  • Organizations are encouraged to begin the recruitment process to engage graduating students to work as apprentices in their companies or enroll in certificate programs.

We are seeking representatives from a variety of industries, including:

  • health care
  • skilled trades
  • advanced manufacturing
  • information technology
  • energy
  • hospitality
  • agriculture

Students will visit with industry representatives in waves throughout the day and learn about various pathways they can pursue when they graduate high school or turn 18.
