As National Apprenticeship Week comes close to an end, we’re proud to spotlight the incredible journeys of our apprentices who bring dedication, resilience, and drive to their work every day.

One of our apprentices recently shared, “The fact that I am able to get my certificate through the Department of Labor, that’s a big thing. The mentorship that YUPRO Placement provided, that connection with individuals if I needed to reach out to, through this whole process, has made the transition much easier.”

Apprenticeships create life-changing opportunities, and we’re honored to support these talented individuals as they build meaningful careers.

At YUPRO Placement, apprenticeships are a key part of our mission to open doors and develop talent through hands-on experience. As we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, we want to highlight the voices of our apprentices.

Here’s what Aiyana had to say: “YUPRO Placement has impacted my career by allowing me to further enhance my knowledge and skills in my role as an Application Development Analyst. A skills-first [approach] has impacted my career development because it has allowed me to confidently be a problem-avoider and expand my professional network.“

Here’s to our apprentices, who remind us every day of the value of skills-first hiring.

Apprenticeships are an investment in potential, and our apprentices are proof of how impactful that investment can be. For National Apprenticeship Week, we’re spotlighting some of the amazing voices from our program.

One apprentice shared, “YUPRO Placement has had a very positive impact on my career. Being able to work at a Fortune 500 company so young is an experience very few can say they have gone through.”

We’re grateful for the opportunity to empower apprentices and watch them thrive in their fields.

This National Apprenticeship Week, we’re thrilled to showcase the powerful journeys of our apprentices. Their stories underscore the value of learning through experience and the difference skills-focused programs can make.

We’re proud to be part of a community that values growth, learning, and opportunity.

💼 Join us in celebrating the journeys of these STARs (skilled through alternative routes).

Apprenticeships are more than just a pathway into the workforce—they’re a bridge to meaningful, skill-focused careers.

At YUPRO Placement, we’re proud to support apprentices as they build professional skills, gain experience, and create lasting impact in their roles. This week, we’re highlighting inspiring stories from apprentices who are transforming their careers and building futures they’re proud of.

🌟 Here’s what one of our apprentices shared: “The program has allowed me to use what I’ve learned in real-life situations and helped me stand out among other interns and apprentices. I was given projects from management that, without the program, I wouldn't have the confidence to complete. These projects also landed me a job interview and ultimately a full-time opportunity.”

We’re thrilled to announce that PJ Savas, a former Year Up intern who came to YUPRO Placement to take the next step in his career, has recently transitioned from IT Helpdesk Apprentice, then Contractor to a full-time IT Support Analyst at TD Cowen!

Reflecting on his journey, PJ shares, “When I started, I was handling basic tasks like imaging laptops and simple fixes. Now, I’m managing live support calls, onboarding new employees, and even diving into networking. None of this would have been possible without my supportive team and the connections made through YUPRO Placement and Year Up United.”

Huge thanks to Tyra Orange and the TD Cowen team for championing growth opportunities for talented professionals like PJ.

We’re excited to watch PJ continue to grow and build more pathways for diverse talent to thrive!
