Career Rewards in Skilled Trades
Think about the REWARDS of a skilled trades career in the construction industry:
CHALLENGE: Solve new and different problems every day as you construct many types of buildings
PRIDE: Drive by and see the buildings you constructed for years to come
INCOME: Earn more as a journeyman than many college graduates with a bachelor's degree; and great fringe benefits, too
LOTS OF JOBS: Land a good job since the number of construction jobs in the Washtenaw County area increased by 73% since 1991 - a larger increase than any other job classification
LEARN WHILE YOU EARN: As an apprentice, work and earn great pay and benefits while you learn
NO TUITION: Generally pay no tuition for your apprenticeship programs and have no student loans to repay
COLLEGE CREDITS: If you decide to go to college later, your apprenticeship classes may provide college credits
SECURITY: While other jobs become outdated, your career will be secure because buildings will always be constructed
MOBILITY: Choose to work anywhere in the U.S. with your skills and credentials that are nationally recognized
CAREER OPTIONS: Work for a large or small construction firm; or use your skills to start your own company
