Apprenticeship Program
The Powell House Project Apprenticeship program leads to Unlimited Career Opportunities
As an apprentice with the Powell House Project, you are trained for well-paying jobs with promising futures. Some of the other benefits include, but are not limited to:
- higher wages;
- a higher quality and versatility of skills;
- training and certifications that meet industry and employer standards; and
- an opportunity to convert completed registered apprenticeship training into college credit and degrees at participating colleges and other postsecondary institutions.
As a Powell House Project apprentice, you will be able to determine the business technology field in which you would like to pursue a career. We provide you will an employer (from our consortium of business partners) who will hire you and agree to train you as an apprentice. You learn the skills of your trade by working closely with a skilled professional in that business, and for the work that you do after the training period, your employer pays you a wage that will increases with your skill level over the length of your apprenticeship.
Our training combines on-the-job development and technical related classroom training. Depending on the trade and the number of levels required to complete the apprenticeship, about 80 percent of your time is spent learning practical skills while supervised by a qualified professional. The remaining 20 percent is technical, related classroom training.
