This May in Los Angeles: Pre-Apprenticeship Training Institute

Attention pre-apprenticeship program trainers and professionals!

With growing national focus on and funding for apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship training programs will become an increasingly important first step in the construction careers ladder. The 2nd Annual Pre-Apprenticeship Training Institute will provide an opportunity for pre-apprenticeship practitioners to network with their peers from around the country and learn from a variety of experienced trainers.

Join your colleagues and peers to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and best practices for creating pre-apprenticeship programs that help all members of your community enter and benefit from apprenticeship and skilled construction trades occupations.

The Pre-Apprenticeship Training Institute is hosted by the State Construction and Building Trades Council of California, and planned by pre-apprenticeship program staff and policy experts from around the nation.  It will take place one day prior to the Women Building the Nation conference, which pre-apprenticeship institute attendees are also encouraged to attend.

Professionals encouraged to attend include:

• Apprenticeship Training Directors and Coordinators
• Pre-Apprenticeship Program Managers and Frontline Staff (Instructors, Outreach Coordinators, Case Mangers and Job Developers)
• National Workforce Development Agencies
• Tradeswomen Volunteers and Mentors. (Note: The Pre-Apprenticeship Training Institute is designed for practitioners, NOT for pre-apprenticeship students.)

Attendees can register for either or both events here.   The Pre-Apprenticeship Training Institute registration page is here.
