Does anyone out there utilize apprenticeship programs and would be willing to share how you've:
a) Established them
b) Roles & Responsibilities
c) Stipends
d) Performance evaluations
e) etc.
We're looking to find a better way to involve, educate and utilize older H.S. /college students in our CT and would like to know how anyone else out there started and how it's worked out. Thanks!

We had a sort of aprenticeship, but this was mainly for luvvies [warm
props] when I was a wee baren in theatre - back when in the dark ages
of a previous life. But it sounds a great idea b6307. However as far as techie aprentices go, they were tied to a trade required in theatre. Maybe it something worth exploring in ameatre, I instigated a 'Stage craft Guild' once upon time, with various levels of achievement. But like all good things, it eventualy was flushed down the dunny! Not from a lack of interest, but from theatre groups internal politics. the levels were 'Hands' 'Crew' & articipher' on a performance basis & emperical skills. [for want of better titled designations] It seems a great concept to build & retain membership though, looking forward to further posts from members here, as I feel it could be a brilliant system, my mob cpuld get in volved with. It would be good to know if formal indentures are utalised. Or just any set of made up falsies will do?    ------------- Joe Western Gondawandaland turn right @ Perth. Hear the light & see the sound.
