Seven Breaux & CareerResidency Program Soars at High Tech

New Apprenticeship Program Soars in DPS from Denver Public Schools on Vimeo.

This week, we caught up with one of our students, Seven Breaux — an apprentice through our CareerResidency Youth Apprenticeship Program pilot — to see what his day-to-day life is like as a Network Technician at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus. That’s right, as a part of our new apprenticeship program, he is a current DPS student — at High Tech Early College –and a working professional.

In his apprenticeship, Seven is attending high school three days a week and is working for two days a week alongside other IT technicians doing valuable, skill-building work — system support, telecommunications and network infrastructure — and getting paid for it.
