Elevate College Prep’s apprenticeships program provides an opportunity for high school students from Chicago to take part in a unique pre-college experience through a partnership with After School Matters Chicago.
The apprenticeships are paid and provide a pathway toward skills development and independence. Students are mentored by Illinois Tech faculty in areas such as business and cybersecurity so that they can learn and develop skills that they can use to address problems in their communities.
- Students must be between the ages of 14–18 to participate
- Students must live in the city of Chicago
- Interested students must apply through After School Matters
- Students receive $325 upon completing 10-week apprenticeships and $100 for two-week previews
