Facilities apprenticeship program creates opportunities in skilled trades

If it is something you want to do to go for it. I mean, I feel like anything you learn, you always better yourself. It's kind of hard to describe because it's I mean, you could be 1 minute, you could be painting a room, and the next thing, you know, you're cleaning up a flood. It just changes that fast. You just kind of roll with the flow. And it really helps. You just can't get a mindset, Well, I'm just going to do this particular job. You need to, you know, kind of have your mindset, learn a little bit of this and that cause if you just have it set on painting, then Yeah. They come around talking about different inst programs. And I was thinking, We and I'd really like to do that. So I would try to keep up with my studies in the book and read and do that and then keep track of what I was doing during the day with the person that I was working with. And they did switch just up a little bit, like, we got to work with different people, which is good, too, because everybody does things a little different. So it's nice to see various ways to fix something and, you know, for somebody to show you how they do what they do. And then you kind of just get to a point where you take a little bit of what everybody shows you and do it. It was four years, 8,000 hours with the apprenticeship. The best part was you didn't have to worry about sitting in the classroom. Everything you're learning and everything hands on. That was the biggest stress. I thought, you know, have to go and sit there, you know, during the day and then take the test, but it wasn't nothing like that. I think I like that we switch it up because it's not the same thing necessarily every day. Like, we're, you know, doing one thing down the hall, we're putting together a desk, and then we're going to be going painting. And then we've even got calls to. Sometimes we got a call to go get a bat out of birth auditorium. So it's like so we stopped to, you know, I like that it's not always the same thing every day. It changes up, and we're around the whole campus in different places doing different things, meeting new people and I don't see how you can go wrong because if you learn how to do stuff, no matter where you go unless you just rent your entire life, I mean, you're going to have to fix things. And like I said, I've used what I've learned here at home. And it's also just helped me to be more confident, you know, when I fix suf here, I'm thinking, Hey, I did that. That looks pretty good. I'm do really good. And so then when I get, you know, to issues at my house, I'm like, I can do this. I got this, you know, I think I mean, it's a good opportunity.
