One of the most disturbing parts of this report is that all of the apprenticeships offered are not in the manufacturing area. If we intend to rebuild this country or to get it back on track we have to go back to the fore front in manufacturing.... Tool and Die, the back bone of manufacturing, machinist.
ridiculous-who writes this garbage-apprentice jobs. These stories really are horribly inaccurate. Name the names of companies or places you can actually go to and apply for these "jobs". Ten Jobs-ten companies(who are hiring).
any one else think that the girl in the picture is doing a really fake smile like she doesn't want to be there? its like she is saying come near me and ill rip your head off. doesn't it? just take a good look at her again.
I think the saleries are off base. The reflect what use to be before the decline. Sorry take 10 to 15% off each of them. As far as assembly line the rehires are at 25,000 and the construction industry is flooded with unemployed, starting there ha, good luck. Experenced people are pounding the streets for these jobs, good luck. There is no new construction out there.
These guy's are bozo's, I read the list of career opportunities and read the actual help wanted ads out there also. A lot of the ads out there are from headhunters (recruiters) that line their books with contacts without hiring at the time. If you read any of them, they ALL want min. 2 years experience as well as Bachelor's degree. Wake-up! Go out in the "real world" and discover the truth, just because you write does not mean it's true. You don't bring in "Air Traffic Controllers", "Plant Operations", or "Building Code Inspectors" in with no experience. Try to find it if you think so.
They forgot to mention electrician, hvac technician, plumber, or carpenter. Most apprectice programs are in the construction industry. They will always keep building. Usually, to enter into these programs, you need a high school degree. They are a great option if you do not want to go to college. I have done both, believe me.
You're not going to find these programs in your state! Where do they get this information? Very misleading.
They are incredibly wrong about the funeral industry. They are mostly family owned and operated and are extremely difficult to get into (if you're a female). I have a friend who went through that program and it took her months to find a job.
Companies used to have apprenticeships until they found that those they trained did not stay loyal to them and left, but this is a great way to go if the companies gave good incentives to stay. Would love to see them return. Universities are big business and only about 15 professionals actually require a degree.
