Tylisha’s Story: Missouri Works Initiative

 

Tylisha was looking for a career opportunity that offered a livable wage without requiring her to take on debt. When her roommate completed the Missouri Works Initiative’s Apprentice Ready Program, Tylisha felt inspired to apply.

“This is a 5-week program with exposure to each trade, and by the end, you’ll have a solid foot in the door of the construction world,” says Tylisha.

Throughout the program, participants gain hands-on experience, learn about the history of trade unions, and meet professionals in the field who answer their questions. They also receive a stipend, tools, and other essentials. “The program exposed me to every trade opportunity and provided information about contracted wages,” says Tylisha.

For Tylisha, the Apprentice Ready Program was the solution she needed. “It launched me into a career with zero college debt, livable wages, and great health benefits for my children and me,” she says.

If you’re looking for a creative, sustainable career without acquiring debt, consider the trades! “There’s no downside to completing this program,” Tylisha shares. “You’ll earn OSHA10 and First Aid certifications, as well as a trade future certification. Even if you don’t end up in construction, dedicating 5 weeks to learn something new is worth it!”
