GPS Manufacturing Youth Apprenticeship
El Puente is partnered with GPS Manufacturing. The youth apprenticeship program allows high school juniors and seniors to complete high school credits while learning valuable manufacturing skills. Attending GPS lets students learn on the job and prepares them for life after high school. Students interested in learning more should visit https://gpsed.org/manufacturing-youth-apprenticeship/.
