Berkeley Lab Director’s Apprenticeship Program (BLDAP)

The Berkeley Lab Director’s Apprenticeship Program (BLDAP) for high school students seeks to remove systemic barriers, such as a lack of access to professional networks and work-based opportunities, by providing strong connections to the scientific community at Berkeley Lab. BLDAP is a project-based high school STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) apprenticeship program that will provide an opportunity for underrepresented students in STEM (defined as: African Americans, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Latinos, students from low income households, and first-generation college attendees) to develop 21st century skills, learn about Berkeley Lab’s business and research activities, receive college and career guidance, and develop a STEM network in a real-life work environment.
