Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are a win-win for both employers and students!
As an employer you gain an employee who will be fully trained with the skills you need, and who is already familiar with your company. GPRC is a great choice among employers as students stay local, meaning there are less distractions during studies and less chance of losing them to larger companies within the "big city".
As an apprenticeship student, you combine on-the-job training with classroom time over a four-year period (varies by trade). You will spend 6-12 weeks each year at school, and the rest of the year training and earning a wage on the job, making this an excellent choice for those who want to continue working while going to school.
