The Bakersfield JATC has just finished two days of the National Apprenticeship Week, on November 20, and 21, 2024.
A Women in Trades day, and a Combination day of showing over 500 high school students what the Union Apprenticeships are all about. There were 7 different Union JATC’s and our partners who showed up for this event.
We showed them some hands on projects, as well as showing them the scissor lift as part of what we do and how we use it in our trade.
We let them know that we do not charge them for our training, and we put them to work, it the “Earn As You Learn” method. Our first year apprentices start out with a taxable wage of $21.91 an hour and it comes with full benefits. No experience needed. 18 years of age valid DL, and SS required.
The last two days were highly successful and I would like to thank all the current apprentices for their help!
