Apprenticeships through Matter of Trust are for those aged 18+ years or with High School Diploma / GED equivalent. Matter of Trust is affiliated with a wide range of schools, non-profits, government organizations, and specialized environmental businesses.
An apprenticeship is designed to develop a particular skill set that makes an individual excel in craftsmanship and green-jobs employment. Apprenticeships can be at Matter of Trust locations, online remote, or with our Global Hubs & Partners.
Teachers and job counselors, we love referrals and suggestions!
