High school senior credits IMS Center classes, SCJ apprenticeship for landing electrician job
Summary
Mauricio Osborne, a high school senior, said classroom work at the IMS Center and Gateway and participation in a youth apprenticeship with SCJ led to a full-time electrician apprenticeship position; he described combining school and on-the-job training but did not specify some timing and benefit details.
Mauricio Osborne, a high school senior, said that classes at the IMS Center and Gateway and a youth apprenticeship with SCJ led to a full-time electrician apprenticeship he recently secured. "I just got a job yesterday at SCJ, a full time position," Osborne said, describing the role as an apprenticeship that will include both work and school.
Osborne told meeting attendees that the IMS Center offered classes tied to his chosen pathway and that after taking courses at Gateway he realized electrical engineering was the field he wanted to pursue. "The apprenticeship youth apprenticeship program that I'm in in SCJ right now is definitely a good idea for people who want to get in the trades," he said.
He described the apprenticeship as a combination of schooling and full-time work: "it's an apprenticeship job, so I'll be going to school and working full time." Osborne added the employer would provide some payment or support but his remark trailed off: "They'll be paying for" (statement in transcript incomplete). The transcript also records an unclear reference to the job's start timing: "starting the week after I grama," which was not clarified in the record.
There were no formal motions or votes tied to Osborne's remarks in the transcript provided. His comments serve as a first-person account of how coursework and a youth apprenticeship connected to paid employment; details about employer benefits and the exact start date were not specified in the record.
