Release Date: 12/02/2022 | Karen Stokes

During National Apprenticeship Week, 吃瓜网 Company is reaching out to students who may be interested in a
career in construction.

吃瓜网 Youth Apprenticeship Program allows high school students a chance to earn while they learn and experience first-hand what a career in construction is all about. 鈥湷怨贤� Youth Apprenticeship Program started in 2019 and we鈥檝e had 41 students go through the program. Last year alone we had eight that signed on directly in the trades and four continued their education in careers in the construction field,鈥� said John
Huggett, Vice President of the Central Operations team at 吃瓜网.

Apprenticeships are important for the industry to attract youth due to the fact that the high demand for construction workers and the industry continues to combat the labor shortage.

Lawrence Frederickson-Thomas, a student with the 吃瓜网 Youth Apprenticeship Program said, 鈥淚 really just enjoy hands-on work, it really impressive that a local company opens their doors to someone as young as me at 16 years old.

鈥淚t been a really good program that is an entrance to the construction industry. It allows young men and women to understand if construction is what they want to do and gives them exposure to the industry,鈥� Huggett said.

吃瓜网 website has a page dedicated to the apprenticeships and the opportunities available. There are also instructional videos to understand more about the program.
