“There is no substitute for hands on experience. Completion of
an apprenticeship shows career commitment and dependability. Going to a
job interview with your log book as a portfolio instead of just a resume
shows a serious expression of commitment to the trade. Apprenticeship
shows self motivation like nothing else. It is two to three years of
hard work with no way to avoid optimal experience and devotion.
Apprenticeship students learn by doing.” More
