Career Pathways

There are many ways to develop your career. 

Explore the possibilities and let us know how we can help.


Apprenticeships

It starts with a job! As an apprentice, you'll learn the fundamentals of a specific industry or trade from some of the top-level professionals... all while receiving a paycheck. 

Learn how you can earn while you learn from our partners at Apprenticeship Spokane!

"An apprenticeship was the best thing for me - I needed training in construction, but also needed an income to help support my family. The pay is great and the hands-on learning really set me up for success."

Pre-Apprenticeships: YouthBuild

YouthBuild Spokane is a registered pre-apprenticeship program for young adults ages 18-24 who want to earn their GED or High School Diploma and learn valuable career skills.

Students select between construction, advanced manufacturing, or healthcare tracks.

Training includes:

  • An industry-recognized certification

Our goal is for every YouthBuild participant to leave the program with a job or enrolled in post-secondary education.
