Salt Lake City School District is setting the standard in preparing students for life beyond high school, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed for future success. With a forward-thinking approach, the district offers a variety of career and college pathways that cater to the diverse aspirations of its students, making us a true launchpad to success.

One of the standout features of the district is our European-style apprenticeship programs. We were the first school district in Utah to pioneer this style of apprenticeship, which provides students with hands-on experience in high-demand, well-paying job industries, bridging the gap between education and employment. By working alongside professionals, students gain practical skills and a clear understanding of their chosen fields, giving them a significant advantage in the job market. Students get paid a good wage during their apprenticeship and receive financial support to earn their Associate's degree while completing the apprenticeship program.

We also offer comprehensive college preparation programs. From rigorous academic coursework to counseling services that help  students navigate the complexities of college applications and financial aid, students receive support to transition smoothly to post-high school life. This thorough preparation ensures that graduates are not only admitted to colleges of their choice but are also ready to excel once they arrive.

In addition to apprenticeships and college prep, the district emphasizes career readiness for all students. Through innovative Career and Technical Education programs and partnerships with local businesses, students can earn industry-recognized certifications and credentials before they even graduate. This approach guarantees that every student, regardless of their post-high school plans, leaves with the tools necessary to succeed in their careers.

The commitment of the Salt Lake City School District to open doors for students through career and college pathways highlights our dedication to student success.
