Are you willing to help a young person learn about your trade? Consider hiring a Youth Apprentice!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are seeking businesses willing to take on Youth Apprentices (16-17 years of age) this summer. Because they are in the Youth Apprentice program, these students&amp;nbsp;can do almost anything someone 18 years of age can do! The CVHBA&amp;nbsp; partners&amp;nbsp;with area schools to help connect students to businesses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This informational session will cover what it means to hire a Youth Apprentice, the requirements of both the business and the student to participate, how the hiring process works, insurance, and will answer all of your questions.&amp;nbsp; There is no commitment, but we want to encourage anyone interested to join us to learn more!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This meeting will take place on Zoom. A participation link will be sent out prior to the meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
