Apprenticeships allow students to split their time between the classroom and workplace, applying knowledge through a hands-on learning routine.

Salt Lake City School District is piloting a new youth apprenticeship program, Talent Ready Apprenticeship Connection (TRAC). By linking the efforts of industry and education, the TRAC program creates a model that is beneficial to both students and businesses. After the students complete their first year of the apprenticeship, during their senior year of high school, they’ll then attend Salt Lake Community College, with full tuition paid for by Stadler US, as they continue the apprenticeship for two more years.
