There Is Change Coming to ColonialWebb's Apprenticeship Program; It Is Getting Turbo Charged!

The ColonialWebb apprenticeship program is about to get turbo charged! This is exciting news for those who are currently in the program as well as those who will be joining in the future! The goal will be to encourage new enrollment that will better prepare us for the increased demand of skilled tradesman in the years ahead.

Did you know that today there are 1.5 million fewer construction workers in the industry as compared to pre-recession levels?

​And to make things worse, baby boomers are reaching retirement age at a rate of 10,000 per day! This presents a great opportunity for employees that want to further their craft knowledge to help our company meet the demand increase of the future.

With that in mind, we realize that if our company is going to continue to flourish and be successful, we need to do everything possible to help increase the pool of skilled tradesman available. We believe this is best accomplished by placing a greater emphasis on our apprenticeship program.

Over the last few years, a lot of time and effort has been focused on maintaining the apprenticeship program. However, we believe it is time to take a strategic approach to figure out how to improve apprenticeship retention, create greater skill sets, and provide better recognition of those that graduate from the program.

Stay tuned for more details on the new and exciting program!
