Is the Ohana Youth foundation pre-apprenticeship program intended to replace apprenticeship programs offered by local unions? |
| |
No. The Ohana Youth Foundation pre-apprenticeship training program is focused on serving the specific needs of persons defined as "at-risk". Its objective is to assist these individuals in obtaining basic academic and trade educational skills that will prepare them for enrollment in apprenticeship programs of other post-secondary education programs. |
