Title
C11 - Memorandum of Understanding with Electrical Training Alliance of Jacksonville (ETA JAX)
Description

The MOU with ETA JAX outlines a new opportunity for 12-18 seniors at Oakleaf High School where they will take the ETA JAX pre-apprenticeship online course and gain hands-on experience at the ETA JAX facility.  

Gap Analysis

Electrical Training Alliance (ETA) JAX operates an electrical apprenticeship program whose largest employer is Miller Electric.  OHS will offer 1 class period for 12-18 seniors to take the online training modules from ETA Jax.  ETA JAX will also host students for field trips at their facility where they will provide hands-on electrical training.  Like many industrries in our region, the construction industry has a tremendous amount of work to be completed, but they are experiencing a workforce shortage.  This program will give students the opportunity to get a head start in a high-skill, high-wage, high-demand career with no college debt.   

Previous Outcomes

N/A - This will be the first time Clay County CTE has partnered with ETA JAX for a pre-apprenticeship program.  

Expected Outcomes

12-18 OHS seniors will complete the Electrical Training Alliance JAX pre-apprenticeship course.  Students will develop workforce skills and become more prepared for college and careers.  

Strategic Plan Goal

Strategy 1.3: Prepare all students to be full option graduates who are prepared for college, eligible to enlist in military services, or able to compete in the workforce.

Recommendation

Approve ETA JAX Memorandum of Understanding
