APPRENTICESHIPS

Apprenticeship is one of the oldest methods of job training. High school apprenticeship is an industry-driven education and career training program based on recognized industry standards.  It can be a means by which employers address current and projected employment needs. Jobs must be approved by the North Carolina Department of Labor as being an apprenticeable occupation and  employers must carry worker's compensation.   Apprenticeships must be paid at least minimum wage ($5.15).  Franklin High School requires students to complete a minimum of 15 hours per week of on-the-job training for each period per day he/she is released from school.  Students must keep track of their time with time sheets and keep a journal of their learning experiences.  The student apprentice will be evaluated on his/her work-based experience by supervising employer.  Credit for this course will be awarded on a pass/fail basis. For specific requirements see FAQs.
