Build a Career from the Ground Up with Our Apprenticeship Program

At WDC, we believe in hands-on learning that leads to real opportunities. Our Apprenticeship Program is designed to bridge the gap between potential and profession—giving individuals a direct pathway into high-demand careers while earning income and building experience along the way. This program is ideal for those who are ready to step into the workforce but want to do so with the support, structure, and guidance that make long-term success possible.

Apprenticeships combine classroom instruction with paid, on-the-job training, allowing participants to gain valuable industry certifications while learning from experienced professionals in the field. We partner with local businesses, unions, and training institutions to ensure that every apprenticeship is relevant, impactful, and designed with the participant’s future in mind. Whether you’re entering the trades, tech, healthcare, or another skilled profession, our Apprenticeship Program provides a launchpad for a stable and sustainable career.

An Accessible Path to Career Mastery

Our Apprenticeship Program is built to open doors for individuals who are eager to work but may not have access to traditional education or job pipelines. We understand that for many, the biggest obstacle to career success isn’t lack of ambition—it’s lack of opportunity. That’s why we’ve structured this program to be as inclusive and supportive as possible, offering practical experience, consistent mentorship, and real income while you learn.

What to Expect from the Apprenticeship Experience

Participants in our Apprenticeship Program begin by selecting a career track aligned with their interests and strengths. From construction and manufacturing to IT and healthcare, we offer a wide variety of pathways in industries that are growing, stable, and essential to the modern economy. Once enrolled, apprentices are paired with a local employer who provides on-the-job training under the supervision of a skilled professional. This mentorship-driven model ensures that learning is not only hands-on but deeply rooted in real-world expectations and standards.

In addition to the worksite experience, apprentices attend regular classes—either online or in person—focused on the technical and theoretical knowledge required in their field. This blended model of learning ensures that participants are not only building muscle memory and confidence in the workplace but also gaining the certifications and credentials that make them competitive in today’s job market. The classroom content is tailored to each industry, offering instruction in safety standards, advanced tools, emerging technology, and soft skills like communication and teamwork.

What sets our program apart is our commitment to support throughout the journey. Participants receive coaching, case management, and wraparound services such as transportation assistance, work gear, and even help navigating childcare, if needed. We recognize that life doesn’t stop while you pursue your goals, and our program is designed to adapt to your circumstances. From the first day on the job to graduation and beyond, our team is here to make sure you have the resources, support, and guidance to thrive—not just survive.
