Are you interrested in the building trades? Do you want to start early in high-performance, sustainable building? Or do you know someone looking for this opportunity?
The High Performance Building Systems & Practices Pre-Apprenticeship Program, run by our partners at passivhausMAINE, is now accepting applications for their second cohort. This state-certified program provides FREE hands-on training and exposure to careers in high-performance, energy-efficient building - with built-in scheduling flexibility so students and full-time workers can participate.
Pre-Apprentices benefit from:
• Flexible monthly in-person or repeat virtual sessions
• Field trips to visit industry builders and designers
• Stipend support to reduce participation barriers (if needed)
• Direct industry connections and career pathway opportunities
We are particularly committed to encouraging women and young adults to apply as part of our effort to build a more inclusive and representative workforce in Maine's construction and green building sectors.
The application is quick and easy and available now on the program website. We encourage interested individuals - and those who know someone who may be a good fit - to apply today.
