Registered Apprenticeships in Poudre School District

Poudre School District continues to invest in growing apprenticeship opportunities. With RISE grant funds and matching internal investments, PSD started three registered apprenticeship programs for youth in IT, Facilities, and Automotive departments, each with multiple positions in 2023. All programs are now poised to continue with 100% internal funding, with the IT department currently hiring for four apprentice positions.

Local partners such as Broadcom, Tolmar, and Independent Plumbing Solutions continue to be engaged with our school system and provide additional valuable registered apprenticeships for youth. In partnership with the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce and the Larimer County Workforce Center, Poudre School District’s Work-Based Learning staff continues to prioritize working with businesses in high-growth and high-value career sectors to develop new youth apprenticeship opportunities wherever possible.
