SUPPORT HANDS-ON LEARNING WORKSHOPS
Reaching this goal will ensure our programing workshops continue to educate and inspire our participants.
Staying true to our mission statement is paramount, and hands-on learning next to mentors is our main way of staying on track. Our primary goal is to teach new skills that enable our apprentices to secure entry-level positions within specific departments, rather than being limited to the basic and general duties of a production assistant. By creating opportunities for union mentors to teach apprentices, we open doors to specialized roles within the industry, facilitating valuable mentor-apprentice connections. The foundation of our mission is learning.
