The Milwaukee Public School District features a distinctive program that provides high school students with hands-on experience in trades. This apprenticeship program equips eager students across the district with practical skills, ranging from carpentry to plumbing, while also fostering the soft skills necessary for success in the workforce.
Giles Patterson serves as the administrator for the apprenticeship program. Under his guidance, he has successfully graduated more than three dozen students. Patterson, along with a program graduate, joins "Positively Milwaukee" podcast host Shannon Sims for an enlightening discussion about this "positively" fantastic opportunity.
