Earn
and Learn
Our Mission is to provide young men a bridge to
the skilled trades through basic training, on the job experience and the
creation of a career path that will enable transition to financial
independence.
The Program recruits young men 18-28 years old to
participate in a 9 week course that includes work ethic, practical math,
financial literacy, career counseling and basic workshop skills. The students
earn a stipend of $150 per week while attending classes, this provides them
with the opportunity to earn while they learn. They will also graduate with up
to a $200 scholarship that will cover the code books and tools needed to enter
a formal apprentice program such as plumbing or electrical careers. The
Apprentices will graduate with a personal portfolio with resumes and the
required documents and certificates needed to enter their selected trade and
interviews with their future employers. Our focus is on the five specific
trades of Plumbing, Electrical, Metals, HVAC and Wood. The goal of the program
is to teach our Pre-Apprentices the fundamental skills needed in the workplace
and provide the basic certifications required by employers. By providing a
stipend for our students while they learn is the bridge they need to leave the
low skilled/low wage job and enter a formal Apprentice program of their
selected trade. Most of our graduates average $15.00 per hour upon acceptance
into apprenticeships.
The Curriculum and class schedule is covered over a
9 week period on Monday through Thursdays from 8am to 2pm. This will allow our
students to have a job on evenings and weekends. The 4 day class schedule
includes; Construction Math (NCCER), -Financial Literacy -The A Game of Work Ethic, Career Track and
Resume writing, Various Field trips to job sites and Apprentice Schools, -Fundamental
Woodworking & Basic Workshop Safety and tool Skills
