Dan

Apprenticeship Preparation Program

Dan grew up in Los Angeles and was at a “crossroads”  in his life. Driven by the desire to provide stability for himself and his family, Dan seized on the opportunity to pursue a union construction career. The Apprenticeship Preparation Program opened his eyes to several different trades, but the most helpful thing to him was the Life Skills curriculum facilitated by our partner 2nd Call. Dan’s hope after graduating was to prove to future APP students that “if you really work hard and if you really stay dedicated to it, it can happen for you.” He is currently working on the new soccer stadium as a member of the Carpenter’s Union Local 1506.
