It's #YouthApprenticeshipWeek(YAW)! MEET LUKE & AYDEN - These two seniors both graduated from the Maine Construction Academy's Construction Immersion Program in 2023. Prior to graduation, students of the Construction Immersion Program participate in interviews with employers they met throughout the program - and Luke & Ayden left the program not only with industry credentials and hands-on experience, they moved right into an #apprenticeship with Wyman & Simpson, Inc. We connected with them on the phone this week to check-in on how they're enjoying their apprenticeship so far. ??♂? What made you gain interest in construction? Luke – "I have had an interest in construction since I was young. My dad has worked in construction throughout my childhood and I spent time on job sites with him, learning about the industry, and being in equipment. One day, I hope to work my way up to be an equipment operator." Ayden – "I never really had interest in construction, but came across the Maine Construction Academy last year and found a love for it. I really like that there are so many opportunities and trades that you can do." ??♂? How do you find juggling school work & your apprenticeships? Luke & Ayden - "We both find it easy to juggle the two. We take our classes online this year, so it makes working full-time as an apprentice more manageable. We leave plenty of time after work and on weekends to get classwork done." ??♂? What advice would you give to other young people considering an apprenticeship program? Luke & Ayden - "Take every opportunity you can get."

We at CWA and CES understand how important it can be, in almost every career path, to have either a mentor or have the opportunity to learn while on the job. This is why we are sharing the following Concentrate Media article that covers how "apprenticeships are beginning to crop up in all businesses and industries to help employees build careers and employers pass on important skills." Michigan Works! Southeast, whose mission is to develop today’s workforce and tomorrow’s economy by engaging employers, career seekers, and partners, "is working to introduce (the) career training option for all industries (of) apprenticeships. Apprenticeships cost the apprentice nothing to earn money while they learn a trade, and Michigan Works! Southeast can help some employers find funding to cover the costs of training." The article highlights Wilson Marine, Michigan's largest boat dealer, who has locations in our client communities of City of Wixom and Howell, Michigan.

Day 2: Spotlight on Apprentices ? On day 2 of National Apprenticeship Week, we spotlight the vital role of apprenticeships in commercial construction. These programs are crucial for providing hands-on experience, fostering mentorship, and driving innovation in the industry. As one of our experienced forepersons, Kyle, can attest, our apprenticeship program equips the next generation of construction leaders with practical skills and industry knowledge, setting them up for successful careers in commercial construction. "My journey with CK began five years ago. Through their four-year program, I progressed from a construction novice to my current role as a Footer and Wall Foreperson. The program equipped me with a wide range of skills, from basic tool handling to advanced surveying.Now, I'm managing my first project and mentoring an apprentice. It's rewarding to see my growth and pass on knowledge to the next generation.CK's program offers diverse experiences in construction. My advice: Embrace learning, set clear goals, and take advantage of CK's comprehensive approach. You'll gain broad experience to shape a career that matches your aspirations." ? #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #CommercialConstruction #HandsOnExperience #Mentorship #NextGenLeaders #ConstructionCareers #SkillsDevelopment #CKConstruction #CareerGrowth #EmbraceLeaming #BuildingFutures

I am LOVING this article perfectly capturing our wonderful UW-Madison, Facilities Planning & Management Division Apprenticeship Programs! "Apprenticeships are filling the skilled trade gaps where all employers are finding a deficit; they grow our talent from the ground up. UW apprenticeships offer incredible opportunities that other apprentices do not get to experience on the job." -Corey Popp M.Ed. https://lnkd.in/gFpqufD4

“Apprenticeship program may fill employment gaps for companies of all sizes” You can safely remove the word “may” from that headline… Even 1st year Apprenticeship programs make a huge difference. I had two years of Machine Tools my last two years of high school. Machinist apprenticeships helped transition our country after World War II into the powerhouse we became. I also implemented an apprenticeship for a custom motorcycle OEM a number of years ago. The results were amazing in just the first 90 days. #apprenticeships #rock

I completely understand the value of an apprenticeship. Having started my own career as an apprentice joiner / carpenter, I experienced firsthand how structured training can lay the foundation for a lifelong career. That’s why I'm excited that #SENSTEC is supporting Simon Acres Group LTD and Adroit Services | Amazing Bathrooms in their inspiring new docuseries ??documenting the apprenticeship journey. This 18-month project will be more than just a video highlighting a process; follow along, and you will see it evolve into a practical guide for all #KBB businesses and answer questions on how to tackle the skills gap head-on. It’s a real opportunity to shape the next generation of skilled professionals who will define our industry’s future. Well done, Simon Acres Group and Adroit Services, for leading this initiative. ?? ???? I'm looking forward to seeing the impact this project will have on businesses and apprentices. Whether you're in the US or the UK, if you’re in the KBB industry, I encourage you to follow this journey and consider how your business can contribute to addressing a skills gap that exists on both sides of the pond. Together, we can create a brighter future for our industry. . . . #kitchens #bathrooms #designers #manufacturing #retailers #installers #apprenticeships #futureofwork #skilledtrades #installation #trades #apprenticeship #training
