MEET THE 2026 LEARNING WEB APPRENTICES! (Part 4 of many)
Today, we are featuring a youth involved in an apprenticeship at Ithaca City School District (DeWitt Middle): Julia from the Town of Ithaca! Not only did Julia learn about teaching 6th grade and explore what she wants to get into, but she enjoyed it so much that she stayed for the rest of the school year--past the 40 hours of the apprenticeship!

A Learning Web apprenticeship is experience of your choosing which helps you explore a career path more in depth under the guidance of a skilled mentor. Apprenticeships can be paid or unpaid and can last up to 40 hours. We want to make our apprenticeships more accessible and visible to youth.

Thanks to the Joint Youth Commission, Legacy Foundation of Tompkins County, and the Tompkins County Youth Services Department, we were able to support youth with paid opportunities.
