The Allegheny Intermediate Unit's
GATE apprenticeship program consists of a half-day or
daylong learning experience per month over a six or
seven month period during the school year. Students
meet and work with professionals who share their experience,
expertise, enthusiasm and zeal for what they do for
a living. The program provides for hands-on, behind-the-scenes
experiences and gives students the opportunities to
make connections with organizations and people who can
help them as they pursue their career choices. These
Oschool students were awarded their apprenticeships
based on their application essays and recommendations
from their mentors:
