Pre-Apprenticeship

Training programs that prepare the participant for applying to a certified apprenticeship program.  Although there is no standardized curriculum for these courses, they generally include an introduction to the construction trades, tools, basic job skills, mentoring and preparation for the entrance requirements for each trade.  These programs are offered by many different organizations such as: local unions, building trades councils, local school districts, community based organizations, community colleges, and One-Stop career centers.
