In partnership with the Dane County School Consortium, the BTC Institute manages the Dane County Youth Apprenticeship Program in Biotechnology, as launched through the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development in 1993. Students may elect to complete a two-year apprenticeship or a one-year senior internship.
The program includes paid training in an industry or UW-Madison research lab. Students receive high school credit for their work experience (450 hours required per year) and for participation in a specialized biotechnology course taught weekly during the Academic Year on the Promega Corporation campus. Course instructors include BTC Institute staff and Promega scientists. Currently, all aspects of students’ worksite placements are also being managed by BTC Institute staff.
