The Master’s Apprentice

• Assistant Program Manager

Mission

Our Mission is to provide young adults 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.

Description

The Master’s Apprentice is a faith-based ministry where the Christian faith is an integral component. We were created to connect low-income young adults searching for a brighter future to career paths in the construction trades. For over 10 years, our pre-apprenticeship classes have placed hundreds of low-income individuals into high paying apprenticeships in HVAC, plumbing, electrical carpentry and more!

The pre-apprentice program is a competency based educational program that will teach low-income individuals (ages 18 ) the basic skills and knowledge needed to meet the minimum standards of acceptance into formal apprenticeships by employers. The classroom curriculum includes work ethics, construction math, personal finance, and career research and resume/interview skills. Students will also have practical hands-on experience learning to work with tools and basic plans, building and producing simple projects in our workshop lab. The experience will also be enhanced through various field trips and industry tours.
