BRING YOUR "A GAME"
WEEKS 1 - 2
The first 2 weeks students attended a 5 day course created by LACOE (Los Angeles County Office of Education). It is a soft-skills development program called “Bring You’re A-Game to Work.”
The workshops include resume building, familiarization with job search practices, and mock interviews. After the first 2 weeks these skills are reinforced throughout the rest of the program with weekly sessions at LACOE.
APPRENTICESHIP
WEEKS 3 - 6
The apprenticeship phase of the program consists of 4 hours of training, 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) at LACP, students learn welding, basic tool safety, and industry standard practices for utilizing wood and metal in manufacturing applications.
The class begins fabricating simple structures almost immediately (i.e. metal boxes, pencil holders, small sculptures).
ON-THE-JOB TRAINING
WEEKS 7 - 12
After week 6, apprentices who've made it this far will have the opportunity to join GOOD LIFE MFG. as a paid skilled laborer and continue their training. In this phase of the program, students put skills learned towards classic car restoration. At the end of the 12 weeks, students will graduate with all the basic necessary skills to enter the industrial manufacturing workforce and forklift certification.
