Apprenticeship Preparation Program

David explains that before enrolling in the program, his criminal record got in the way of success, but he got an opportunity to turn things around. “No one wanted to give me a chance,” he says, “but this gave me a chance to do something good. And I’m looking forward to it.” In the Apprenticeship Preparation Program, he learned anger management skills and job interview techniques. David is inspired by his family and used them as motivation to pursue a career. He is now working full-time as a union carpenter.
