Therefore, the program is aimed at young people aged 14 to 24 who want to gain experience. Furthermore, in parallel with their work, students also receive training. This way, when they finish this experience they already have a better chance in the job market.

Furthermore, the program also influences companies to create these programs. Therefore, many companies already have a solid process. And at the end of the program period, they end up hiring their young apprentices. In fact, it is mandatory for every company to allocate between 5% and 15% of vacancies for young apprentices.

Therefore, the student can work between 4 and 6 hours if they are studying. If not, you can work from 6 to 8 hours. However, for those who have already completed high school, it is necessary to carry out theoretical activities related to work. For example, administration classes for those who are apprentices in this area.

In summary, the Young Apprentice Program is a great way to enter the job market. In addition to being an opportunity to see a work option in practice. This way, young people can understand whether it is what they want to study or not.

To participate in the Young Apprentice Program, you must be between 14 and 24 years old. In addition, the young person must be attending elementary or high school. Or, you need to have finished high school frequently enough. It is worth remembering that for people with disabilities, there is no age limit.
