Youth Apprenticeship Student Success Stories - Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Program (MATP)

Frederick County Public Schools Youth Apprenticeship

“My favorite thing about the program is being able to learn about the new equipment, and working in a hospital is a great experience because you meet so many new people. It’s a great opportunity that can lead to a career path that you might not have known about.” - Justin Elliott, Youth Apprentice, Linganore High School

“I know that I did not want to go to classes my senior year that I did not need. The people here do a good job of explaining things to me. Me being five steps ahead of everybody when I go to college is easier.” - Suzanne Harkins, Youth Apprentice, Brunswick High School

“My favorite thing about being an apprentice is that I’m getting paid while I learn. It’s great to have many mentors because I can take all the knowledge that they give me and use it to see what I think is best to get a job done.” - Josh Plunkett, Youth Apprentice, Phoenix Mecano, Linganore High School
