Walton & Company Provides Employees the Opportunity to Complete an Apprenticeship Program
One of the perks of working at a top-notch business like Walton & Company is having the opportunity to take advantage of an apprenticeship program.“Apprenticeships hold great promise in helping American workers acquire the skills they need to get good jobs while ensuring companies can attract the talent required to succeed in this fast-moving global economy.”
—Labor Secretary R. Alexander Acosta
What Exactly is an Apprenticeship?
Walton & Company utilizes two different schools for their apprentices. Both York County School of Technology (YCST) and Associated Builders and Contractors' (ABC) Keystone Center have great programs to serve our employees.
Apprenticeship programs are targeted toward giving hardworking people good careers in the construction industry. The goal of each program is to develop skilled workers and craftspeople and teach them a trade they can thrive in while they earn a great income in PA. These programs allow contractors to employ a highly skilled workforce that has been trained to be the best it can be. On-the-job training is part of our apprenticeship programs, along with classroom instruction which provides the knowledge apprentices need to be up to date in their industry.
The common requirement for the apprenticeship program is 144 hours of schooling each year and a total of 8,000 hours of on the job training for the 4-year program.
