Apprenticeships are Under Attack

You've probably heard us talk about our apprenticeship programs. How the North Bay TIP (Trades Introduction Program) trains men and woman for careers that pay a family sustaining wage. And one of the best parts is these apprentices earn a wage while they learn. 

We received the message below from Working America. It's no secret this administration is no friend to Labor and here's just another example of that.

Please read the message below and act so these important programs will continue to change lives. 

Learn a Trade and Get Paid While You Learn

Get paid while you learn

If you’re looking for a new career, where you can be paid as you learn and then be on a path to a healthy, middle class income, the North Bay TIP (Trades Introductory Program) just may be for you. This is an exciting way to make a “green” living in the Building Trades. Learn a craft and you’re off.

WOMEN, DO NOT PASS UP THIS OPPORTUNITY. GET YOURSELF INTO A NON-TRADITIONAL WOMEN'S FIELD.  LET'S NOT LEAVE ALL THE GOOD JOBS TO THE GUYS!
