What If Apprenticeship Isn’t the Right Fit for My Company?

“

Employers want someone who…

• Shows up on time. Every. Single. Day.
• Communicates when they need help.
• Pays attention and is willing to learn.

• Takes safety VERY seriously.
• Has basic math skills.
• Picks up a broom, not a cell phone.
