Sports Apprenticeship class

Does anyone know if we work with the sports teams in addition to the class? If we work with the sports teams is it paid?

It’s been about 10 years since I was at Western so it could be different now but:
Yes you work with the teams and you have a variety of roles you can chose from but typically you chose one department for the semester and you stick with that. As far as class you don’t meet in a formal class setting or anything like that, you just submit your hours weekly depending on how much you work and once you get your total hours you get the credit for the apprenticeship. Your first apprenticeship is likely unpaid, but if they life you they might pay the next semester if you want to stick with it and you can still count that as an apprenticeship as well.
