Osborne High Students Among Largest Delta Community High School Apprentice Class

Three Osborne High School students 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.

Seniors Sai Patel and Jonah Stowers, along with junior Maks Karalov, are among 25 metro Atlanta students chosen to work as part-time tellers at Georgia’s largest credit union. Patel and Stowers are serving as apprentices at Delta Community’s Marietta branches—Patel at the Dallas Highway location and Stowers at the Johnson Ferry Road branch. Karalov is working at the Vinings location.

“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 high 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.
