The Registered Youth Apprenticeship Program is an all-inclusive educational program offered entirely at Western Area CTC for students in their junior and senior years of high school.  Students receive a comprehensive education which includes academic course requirements and technical training. Four apprenticeship programs are available: Manufacturing, Automotive Technology, Health Related: Medical Secretary and Medical Record Technician, and Food Services.  Students also receive technical training at a job site.  This site gives the student the ability to apply skills and knowledge learned at Western Area CTC as well as to learn and reinforce skills needed to compete in the real work world.
