Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math YA Alumni Celia Bartels Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math View Job Verona Class Of 2023

Abbie Harrington McFarland Class Of 2020 Company: Oak Park Place Program: Health Science What did you love about YA? Healthcare is a path that not everyone is made for. You can know everything you need to know but if you don't have a good bedside manner to speak with patients, it's a hard field. My favorite part about the experience I had with YA was the relationships I got to make with the residents in the long-term care facility. I worked at OPP for 3 years and most of the residents knew me from start to finish and helped me build my confidence in health care which is really special. I also loved being able to gain skills that I can carry into my nursing profession. You can tell nurses who have been CNAs from those who haven't. I am forever grateful for everything Oak Park Place gave me to be a great nurse. How did YA influence your plans after high school? The YA program ensured me that I wanted to be a nurse one day. Working as a CNA at Oak Park Place showed me I was headed down the right career path by going to nursing school. When Covid hit my senior year and school went online, my job did not stop. It was rewarding to be able to go to work every day and be a ray of light for the residents who couldn't see their families. This showed me I was right where I was meant to be. It also is such a great program to be able to put on your resume. What do you want others to know about YA? If you are unsure if a field you want to go into is right for you, YA is great because you get real hands-on experience to figure out if it is a fit for you. It helps you build great connections in the area you want to pursue and gives you experiences you wouldn't be able to get in a normal high school class day.

In my position, I respond to information requests from people planning to visit Mount Horeb.

Transportation, Distribution & Logistics Back to all programs The Wisconsin Automotive Technician YA Program is designed to provide students with a working understanding of core employability and technical skills, as well as occupationally specific skills that serve as the standard for occupational pathways in the automotive service industry. ​ This program provides the framework for educators and industry to work together to produce work-ready, entry-level employees that will compete favorably in a global market, as well as, provide for post-secondary educational advancement while integrating work-based learning in the school and worksite. ​ Check out this Student Career Info video on DCSC Automotive Technicians Check out our NBC15 News story about our Belleville Automotive Course DCSC NATEF Certification ​ ​ STUDENT TESTIMONIAL "The youth apprenticeship program has really opened my eyes toward the kind of work that is out there in the real world working towards a career goal that you have set. During the short time I’ve been working at Wilde East Towne Honda I noticed the different kinds of work that comes through the doors, and the different kind of jobs there are at a car dealership. I have had an amazing time working at a job, and a place that I actually care about--not a job that you can blow off. This program has shown me different kinds of people you work with at a workplace, not along everyone that is your age, but more so around the age of having a wife/ husband, and possibly kids. This program has taught me to be more responsible with my life, because one bad grade can take you out of the program, and take the opportunity and the experience away. So far it’s been amazing. You’ll get treated with respect and treated like part of the team, not like the lowest part of the food chain. I highly recommend this program to anyone and everyone interested in any of the available career fields, as it could show you what you want to do, and launch you into your career path."
