Building Industry Hawaii - July 2023

LEARN MORE ABOUT ABC

On June 1st, 2023, we celebrated the graduation of 38 Apprentices as they completed the classroom portion of their Apprenticeship Training. We’d like to extend a big mahalo to our instructors and companies who recognize the need to further education and train the next workforce. We are proud that our graduates are taking one additional step to establishing themselves as skilled craftsmen. As we are on a continued decline and shortage of young craft professionals, we’d like to announce enrollment for our Apprenticeship and new Craft Training Programs which is currently

open for the 2023-2024 school year. Apprenticeship Program The apprenticeship program is designed to train the next generation of skilled workers. Through a combination of academic coursework and on the job training, apprentices can graduate with all the knowledge, skills, and resources to be a journeyworker in the following trades that we offer: Electrical, Plumbing, Carpentry, Painting, Roofing.
