Skilled Trades Preparation (STP)
Spokane Community Colleges (SCC) Apprenticeship and Journeyman Training Center, Eastern Washington Apprenticeship Coordinators Council (EWACC), and the Adult Basic Education division partnered to develop a pre-apprenticeship program aimed at providing a diverse and qualified pool of applicants for the apprenticeship training programs. The curriculum was developed with input and participation from the Spokane area apprenticeship coordinators. This program will give students the basic knowledge and certifications they need to be successful in applying and preparing for a career in a trade oriented apprenticeship. The program will have an anticipated enrollment of 25 students each session and tuition of $25.00. The 11-week program will have the following components: math for the trades, apprenticeship basics, computer basics, apprenticeship job skills and financial literacy. In additions, the students will earn certificates in First Aid / CPR, Flagging. OSHA 10 Construction, and Forklift Operation.
