5 Summer Pre-apprenticeship Students

Posted In: Pre-apprenticeship program

We started our summer program last week with 5 very motivated bright young people, plus one 14 year old who wants to start his own lawn mowing company. He's too young for the pre-apprenticeship program, but we will be matching him up with some mentors.

Last week they went through the orientation sessions and completed career assessments. This week they will be volunteering at Habitat for Humanity, learning interviewing skills, and starting to put together goals and objectives to obtain their career goals.
