The students of any pre-apprenticeship program will not have to pay for the training. There are funding programs available that all students must apply for. If a student is not eligible for funding, West Virginia Women Work will provide a scholarship for the tuition costs.
The typical student is usually between the ages of 25 and 45 with very little to no construction experience. About half of the students are heads of households and many are single parents.
WVWW’s main goal is to get students into entry-level construction/manufacturing jobs. Our experienced instructors teach students job development methods and coach them through the unique process of securing a nontraditional job. Instructors help with resume writing and provide technical assistance in getting them into the hands of hiring professionals. Students will also have the opportunity to meet with registered apprenticeship program representatives. There will be tours of their training centers. We are very proud that we maintain an 80% or higher placement rate with each of our classes.
The U.S. Department of Labor defines nontraditional occupations as those in which women comprise less than 25% of the total workers. This category includes a vast range of jobs including construction, manufacturing, plumbing, electrician, welding, and HVAC just to name a few. Step Up for Women focuses our pre-apprenticeships on jobs that offer higher pay and benefits without having any college debt.
