Pre-apprenticeship Program Puts Hands-On, High-Demand Technical Training Close at Hand
Tampa, Fla, Date May 23, 2022 – The path to a successful tomorrow “technically” begins today at Florida Trade Academy. Located in Tampa, Florida, this premier trade academy is a pre-apprenticeship program that prepares individuals with the hands-on training, practical skills, career guidance and core courses to enter a Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) that lets students “learn while they earn” and leads to a satisfying and successful career in the trades.
For individuals looking to enter the workplace for the first time or return to it after a long time, Florida Trade Academy offers pre-apprenticeship programs that allow students to explore new career paths and prepare for success in the trades. Pre-apprenticeship programs appeal to every age and stage of life. High school graduates searching for an affordable alternative to a higher-priced college education. Professionals in their 40s, 50s and early 60s considering a career change or looking to learn new technical skills. And seniors with a desire for self-improvement, rather than employment. Florida Trade Academy fulfills these needs with pre-apprenticeship programs that open the door to a lifetime of technical learning.
At Florida Trade Academy, individuals can acquire hands-on technical training and access to apprenticeships in a wide range of trades, including:
- Electrical
- HVAC
- Plumbing
- Sheet Metal
- Sprinkler Fitter
- Roofing
- Carpentry
- Pipe Fitting
With the economy experiencing a severe shortage of skilled workers in the trades, the demand for trade workers has never been higher. And with more and more professional jobs being outsourced to automation or other countries, trade workers enjoy a higher degree of job security because this work demands specialized skills and must be done on-site. Between the higher workplace demand and careers that can’t be outsourced or automated, Florida Trade Academy pre-apprenticeship programs offer individuals a path to job stability and earning potential throughout their lives.
At Florida Trade Academy, pre-apprenticeship programs work for everyone by helping everyone get to work.
