DENVER (KDVR) — An apprenticeship fair at the end of the month could help launch careers for locals.
The City of Denver Workforce Services Apprenticeship Fair is happening on April 29 from 10 a.m. – noon. The location is Montebello High School, 5000 Crown Blvd.
An apprenticeship is where an individual can earn money as they learn. They offer on-the-job training with classroom instruction.
An apprenticeship will typically last one to four years. According to Apprenticeship USA, the federal government agency that oversees apprenticeships, 93% of those who complete an apprenticeship, get a job with an average annual salary of $77,000.
There will be companies from several industries at the event at the end of the month including construction, information technology, energy, health care, early education, and even dance.
