Modern Apprenticeship ay idinisenyo upang ihanda ang mga mag-aaral sa high school sa Central Indiana para sa workforce na may bayad, hands-on na karanasan na umaakma sa kanilang tradisyonal na coursework. Kasabay nito, pinalalawak ng programa ang pipeline ng workforce sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalok sa mga tagapag-empleyo ng paraan upang matugunan ang kasalukuyan at hinaharap na mga pangangailangan ng tauhan.

Ang Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation ay nagbigay ng $9 milyon mula noong 2019 upang suportahan ang programa, gayundin ang Modern Apprenticeship Community of Practice, isang statewide forum para sa mga stakeholder na may kaugnayan sa apprenticeship upang magbahagi ng pinakamahuhusay na kagawian. Kasama sa kasalukuyang cohort ang higit sa 70 estudyante sa high school na nagtatrabaho sa buong lugar ng Indianapolis sa mga apprenticeship na nagbibigay din ng mga kredito sa kolehiyo, na may mga planong palawakin sa 360 mag-aaral sa 2025.

Apprenticeships are offered in fields such as manufacturing, healthcare, life sciences, financial services and education. Data from similar youth programs show employers realize $1.42 in value for every $1 invested in an apprentice, making the Modern Apprenticeship program a win-win for Indianapolis students and employers.
