Summary
The College of the Florida Keys (CFK) is hosting a virtual information session on September 26 to introduce prospective students to its tuition-free apprenticeship programs in HVAC and plumbing. Starting in the spring semester, students will have the opportunity to gain hands-on training while being employed full-time with local construction businesses, culminating in nationally recognized certifications upon completion.
These apprenticeship programs are designed to address the high demand for skilled workers in the construction industry throughout the Florida Keys. By providing a structured 'earn while you learn' model, CFK not only equips apprentices with essential skills but also supports their career advancement in lucrative trade professions.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This initiative illustrates the vital role registered apprenticeship programs play in bridging the skills gap in high-demand industries. By partnering with local employers, CFK is ensuring that apprentices receive relevant training and job placement, ultimately fostering a robust workforce for the future.
