"I highly recommend ETAP to students at Central State. We encourage them to apply," DeVond says.
Alcindor says this year's ETAP apprenticeship class will include 30 students. He notes that growing interest in ETAP has made the program more competitive, and that officials are hoping to double the program's size in the coming years. It's currently open to minority students with high academic standing who are juniors, seniors or graduate students. Selection is based on academic performance, application, recommendations, personal interview and the suitability of the applicant to match the apprenticeship site. ETAP is accepting applications from students through the end of February, according to Alcindor.
