2. The department of elementary and secondary education shall devise and implement a model apprenticeship program to enable high school students who volunteer for certain elderly service tasks to achieve certification as a certified nurse’s aide, day care provider, or other skill that has job potential upon graduation from high school or which provides credit toward achieving certification in those skills in an ongoing education program. Such a program shall be called an “Intergenerational Care and Training Program”.
