How the Program Works

Training runs as a 6-month intensive program. Participants who complete the full novice track are connected with real, paid job opportunities in their chosen trade — the program is deliberately structured around actual work, not just certification.

Novice Track

Designed for participants with little or no prior experience in the trade. Covers fundamentals, safety, tools, and supervised hands-on practice, building up to independent competence over the 6-month period.

Professional Track

Participants who already have experience in a trade can bypass the novice curriculum by taking an aptitude test. Passing qualifies them to be placed directly onto available jobs, without repeating foundational training.
