Can we still claim our 19 yr old as a dependent?

Can we still claim our 19 year old(will be 20 in august 2024) on our tax return? He is an electrician apprentice ( made $42,500 in 2023). We provide housing, utilities and food. If we can claim him when he files his own taxes what should he file as? Would he just have to affirm that he is being claimed by someone else or is there anything else he would need to choose on his return for being claimed by someone else(us)?

No, he would need to be a full-time student.   He can't be claimed by anyone else.
