The Master's Apprentice Program

It's Colorado Gives Day! We're thrilled to partner with the Colorado Gives Foundation each year to help make our dream a reality: preparing work-ready construction pre-apprentices out of those that this world has kicked down again and again; Now they get a chance to be lifted up! We're deeply grateful to the Colorado Gives Foundation for their unwavering support and to everyone who donates today, showcasing the generous spirit of our incredible state. Thank you for making a difference!

Partners like Duro Electric Co. play a crucial role in our students' success. They not only help students secure the careers they've dreamed of but also continue to support their growth and development long after they leave MAP. Take Zane Bauerle, for example—he started with a passion for the trades and now holds a high-level office position, where he continues to excel. This embodies both the MAP and Duro spirit! Watch this video to learn more about our partnership and Zane’s inspiring journey!

Graduation means one thing: Celebration. We celebrate friends, family, and hard work. But most importantly, we celebrate that our student's lives are just now beginning. No matter where they were at before, they now have new opportunities and a chance at a new life. And for that reason... We CELEBRATE!!!

Our latest #ImpactStory highlights the experience of Dometrius, a participant in the Colorado Pay It Forward Fund: After being released from prison in 2020, Dometrius bounced between dead-end jobs. He wanted a career with stability and growth potential, but he was having trouble getting his foot in the door.  The Master's Apprentice Program gave him the opportunity he needed. A zero-interest living expense loan, offered through the Colorado Pay It Forward Fund, helped him remain financially stable during the six-week pre-apprenticeship training. “Training with The Master’s Apprentice took up almost all of my time Monday through Friday. The loan helped with my finances, so I was able to focus on learning. I don’t know where I would be without it.” Read Dometrius's story: https://lnkd.in/eZcf9i4u #economicmobility #apprenticeships #outcomes

We love alumni breakfast! It's a great opportunity for our students, current and former, to meet and celebrate their careers. We hope to see you at the next one for more free food and new friends. Thanks to everyone who came!

When you're ready to quit, just do... one more. When you feel like you're at your breaking point, just do, one more. When you build the habit of doing just one more, you're training your mind for success!
