he 2025-26 Delta Community High School Apprentice class includes 25 students from 21 schools across metro Atlanta — the largest group in the program’s history.
Three high school seniors from Coweta County have been selected to participate in Delta Community Credit Union’s High School Apprentice Program, which accepted a record number of students for the 2025-26 school year.
Newnan High School’s Janissa Bryant, Northgate High School’s Katiana Stanley, and East Coweta High School’s Andrew Thomas are among 25 metro Atlanta students chosen to work as part-time tellers at Georgia’s largest credit union. Bryant and Stanley are serving as apprentices at Delta Community’s Newnan branch on Highway 34, and Thomas is working at the credit union’s Peachtree City location in the Braelinn Village Shopping Center.
“We met a high number of impressive candidates during this year’s interview process, which inspired us to increase the number of students accepted,” said Emily Browning, senior recruiter at Delta Community. “We are proud to welcome the largest group in the program’s history and look forward to helping them develop valuable career skills as they support our branches and serve our members.”
Delta Community’s apprenticeships are coordinated through Georgia’s Work-Based Learning Program, which allows students to gain real-world experience, earn a salary and receive academic credit during the school year.
This year’s group represents 21 schools across 11 metro Atlanta counties. Since the program’s launch in 2006, Delta Community has trained 245 students, helping them build essential skills for careers in financial services and other professional fields.
