Apprenticeship Matrix is Posted to Site

In the hopes of improving the quality of the content of this site, I have started to make a few resource documents. The first one is a break down of the apprenticeships for the construction trades. Download the matrix here.

One of the things that many people have sought are clear tools that describe what you need to do to qualify for apprenticeship programs.

I have posted to the site a matrix that describes each of the apprenticeable crafts, the requirements to join and the any tests that the apprenticeship program. I want to thank the San Diego County Construction and Building Trades for providing the the source data for the document.

A few observations about the requirements. Most if not all require applicants to be 18 years old. All of the trades require a great deal effort and require people to be in good physical condition. Note: Most apprenticeship programs require a drug test.
