Aaron ‘Luke’ Ruba was recognized Monday by the Ripon Unified school board for having completed the State Certified Information Technology Apprenticeship program. He’s joined, from left, Trustee Vince Hobbs, Student Trustee Alizeh Ali, Trustee Christina Orlando, board President Caroline Hutto, and Superintendent Ziggy Robeson.
Another Ripon High student completed the Apprenticeship Reaching Career Horizons program. Aaron ‘Luke’ Ruba was among the initial group in the area to not only take part in the ARCH program – described by the San Joaquin County Office of Education as “a one-of-its-kind apprenticeship program for high school students” in the state – but in the process earned college credits while receiving on-the-job training in paid positions while still enrolled in high school.
