In this highlight episode, Elissa Looney, Director of Strategic Initiatives, is joined by two guests from Advanced American Construction, Dee Burch, President, and Kyle Izatt, Senior Vice President, to discuss the barriers that apprentices face in their trades.
Elissa notes that although people generally understand how challenging it can be for students to get through school financially, it is less understood how challenging it is for people starting out in the trades, especially when apprentices are working and making money. In reality, apprentices have about four weeks a year where they attend school for their trade unpaid. On top of the cost for various certifications, they are also required to find projects where apprentices are accepted, which aren’t always common.
