Construction Apprenticeship Program
Our mission is to empower youth to succeed in work and life through woodworking and experiential learning. Our apprenticeship program offers paid positions as part of a cohort that works together to build two or three boats during the course of four months.
One of the biggest challenges to entry-level employment for low-income or youth facing a barrier to employment is a lack of opportunity, access, or quality work experience. Our paid apprenticeship program is specifically designed to provide young people with the skills and work history necessary to land them quality jobs or educational opportunities upon graduation.
An apprenticeship lasts 3-12 months (initial commitment is one session). Each cohort or session lasts 3-4 months, and youth can be hired for consecutive cohorts, with a total of 15 months of employment. Pay starts at $15/hour with opportunities to receive a raise with each new session.
