The Master's Apprentice- A Bridge to the Trades - 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. They will be
paid a $150 per week while attending classes and workshops and graduate with up
to a $200 scholarship that will cover most of the books and tools needed to
enter a formal apprentice program such as plumbing or electrical careers. The
Apprentices will also graduate with a personal portfolio with resumes,
background checks and the required documents and certificates needed to enter
their selected trade and interviews with their future employer. 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 paying our students while they learn is the bridge they need to
enter the formal Apprentice program of their selected trade while enabling them
to become hired full time by one of our corporate partners. 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; -Basic and Construction Math, -Financial Literacy -The A Game of Work Ethic -Fundamental
Woodworking & Basic Workshop Skills
Our guiding verse is 1Thes 4:11-12 (NIV) “Make it your
ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your
hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of
outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.”
