Brief Program Summary: Modern Apprenticeship Program (MAP) is a two- to three-year program designed to prepare Central Indiana high school students for the workforce with paid, hands-on experience that complements their traditional coursework. Apprentices start in their junior year and pursue jobs in growing fields such as business, advanced manufacturing, and information technology (IT). In addition to paid work experience, participants may earn college credit and build a professional network. Afterward, they can continue on to a college degree or jump right into the workforce. The first cohort of MAP launched in May 2021.
