About the role

An Apprentice is becoming a skilled professional with both classroom learning and on-the-job training. You gain everything you need for career success. You’ll create with your hands, working outdoors in different environments, and tell your family and friends “I helped build that”. (Do you have Apprentice credits from somewhere else? They might transfer to our certified NCCER program.) Military Veterans are encouraged to apply! Our Apprentice school qualifies for the GI Bill.
