Help with tools, in the works.
Landing an apprenticeship sometimes means buying your first set of tools, and that's a real hurdle. We're applying for grants to help our participants cover those startup costs. A few applications are already in, with more on the way.
It's free. It always will be.
No cost to you, no catch. Skip the college debt and find out whether a trade is your fit, one real day at a time.
