This article presents findings from a three-year research study looking at the experiences of students with disabilities who participated in the Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship program. Specifically, we examined the provision of supports and accommodations. Using in-depth interviews with former program participants and stakeholders and document analysis of participants' school records, the authors discuss type and extent of supports provided to youth apprentices and adequacy of those supports for ensuring students could successfully complete the program. Researchers also examined the perceptions and practices of youth apprenticeship coordinators and instructors concerning accommodation of youth with disabilities in the program. Results suggest a need for stronger and more systematic planning for providing supports and accommodations within youth apprenticeship programs.
