🔵🔵 Apprenticeships and on-the-job trainings (OJT) are two types of work-based learning tools that can help adults and young adults develop vital skills. These skills can help to make them more employable, which can also translate to a higher earning potential.
🔵 Apprenticeships can be a great way to learn a new trade or credential while earning a wage. This can also be a great opportunity to get your foot in the door of a company and potentially earn a full-time position after you complete your apprenticeship.

🔷 Yes, education can be your path to success. Join us on September 24th for the Fall 2026 Trade Expo/ Job Fair where you can explore career changing opportunities‼️
