About the program

In this SkillBridge opportunity, participants will first begin their on-boarding, online training, and certifications. They will then shadow a Lead Technician on an active job site with maintenance projects. Once the participant has demonstrated their knowledge and understanding for their role, they will be given more responsibility on the maintenance project. It is our hopes that the participant accepts a full time position with us after the SkillBridge program is over.
