ApprenticeshipYou Can Earn While You

Learn

Higher Wages, Transferrable Certificate & Skills (equivalent of a 4-year degree!), and increased Advancement Potential….

Most require you to be 18. Openings happen when demand requires more workers….

Current openings: Boeing ($40+/hour to start!), Construction Trades, Cement Masons, Puget Sound Energy (pre-Apprenticeship), Pipe Fitters

Other Factors to Consider….

Whether applying for a job or college admission, there’s more to getting an offer (of

employment or enrollment) than just your grades & test scores:

Extracurricular Activities:• Clubs, Music, Drama, Sports, Leadership, Youth Groups,

Activism

Community Service:• Church affiliated, school clubs, tutoring, community

organizations

Getting involved is about more than building your resume…. It’s about improving your skills and defining your interests too!
