Pre-Apprenticeship Programs


Southwest Florida’s trade industries are booming and need qualified employees! Junior Achievement’s Pre-Apprenticeship Program aims to train participants for success by providing a 6-month, work-based learning experience to fast track your career.

IT’S TIME TO INVEST IN “MIDDLE-SKILL” JOBS & EDUCATION

50% of America’s jobs require more than a high school diploma…​

But, less than a four-year degree (i.e., middle-skill workers). ​

The demand for middle-skilled workers remains high, yet the lack of a properly trained workforce is hindering the ability of U.S. businesses to compete globally. Exposing high school students to various career pathways allow students to make informed decisions, while opening new doors of opportunity.

Be Prepared With Career Readiness Skills:

  • Goal Setting & Personal Branding
  • Resume Building & Interview Techniques
  • Communication & Social Media Etiquette
  • Effective Problem Solving & Teamwork
