“I was a groundskeeper without any mechanical background before joining the apprenticeship,” said Ashley Moll, Operating Engineers 324 Stationary Engineer Apprentice who is currently working at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, “but I wanted to learn a trade and have a good paying job where I wasn’t stuck behind a desk. This apprenticeship has been invaluable to me. Classroom education, paired with hands-on experience has taught me so much. I feel far more confident than I ever have with just schoolwork alone. My coworkers are eager to share their knowledge as well, and I highly recommend a registered apprenticeship to anyone considering it. It has been so worth it!”“I saw heavy equipment and knew that working on them would always keep my interest,” said Operating Engineers 324 Technician Apprentice Karl O’Bryant, currently in the second year of his Registered Apprenticeship with Hoffman Brothers in Battle Creek. “Since the first day of my apprenticeship, I’ve just been learning like crazy – everything I can, about the systems that powers these big machines, and how to keep them running. I get paid to learn things and gain knowledge. I get to do something I love, learn everything I can about it, and make a great living, thanks to Registered Apprenticeship.” ... See MoreSee Less
