Consider becoming a Youth Carpenter Apprentice with Milwaukee Fire Department’s Construction & Maintenance team!

Selected students will enroll in the State of Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Youth Apprenticeship Program (DWD-YAP) through their school-appointed consortium.

Under the direction of the Facilities Manager and jobsite mentors, Youth Carpenter Apprentices receive hands-on training while completing construction tasks aligned with the Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship competencies.

Apprentices work full-time during the summer and part-time during the school year.
