Transition to Support Workforce Training

By Allanah Ceasar | Program Director

Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships

As the students of the Generation A program matriculate from middle school into their junior and senior years, it’s important that LIFE provides relevant opportunities to keep them engaged in the life long journey that is financial literacy. While in middle school, the students learned entrepreneurship principles able to be practiced among their peers. They developed business plans, implemented marketing strategies to distribute their goods, and practiced using financial statements in tandem.

They are earning now, and we want to provide an avenue for them to receive on-the-job training that leads to industry recognized credentials. The options they have currently are the LIFE Tech and LIFE Build programs. The IT and carpentry instructors have assisted individuals receive certifications in their respective programs and we want to continue that success by creating opportunities for the youth to get engaged. The other registered apprenticeship program that is still new and awaiting it’s first pupil will be structured as a social enterprise offering discounted labor to elderly, military, and disabled individuals for training purposes.

In the upcoming year, we will establish an organic market garden pre-apprenticeship which will provide the youth with insight on farm business planning, crop and compost management, tractor safety and maintenance, small engine repair, integrated pest management, and greenhouse management. They will be able to work with people throughout the community to see how partnerships help a garden thrive. We believe learning how to serve is a part of the preparation needed for post-secondary success so serving the broader community is an important aspect of the work.
