HOW IT WORKS

Choose an alternate education path and gain a gold collar career

You’re thinking about your career choices, and it seems like there’s nothing for you. With tuition prices at record highs and college degrees diminishing in value, you don’t want to take the risk. On the other hand, you know your potential, and you don’t want to settle for a job that requires little skill.

Where do you go from here?

ABC's Keystone's apprenticeship program offers a unique opportunity: an alternative to college that gives you a chance to “earn while you learn,” the potential to graduate debt-free, and a lucrative career waiting for you when you do.

Things aren’t so easy for recent college graduates who are saddled with debt and earning entry-level wages, if they can get a job in their field at all. In contrast, there is a record demand for skilled craftspeople in construction. Employers are expecting shortfalls in the millions for decades to come. This makes training them for hire more important than ever.

Fact: The average college graduate has over $50,000 of student loan debt to repay. A majority of ABC Keystone's apprenticeship students graduate debt-free.

There’s a Place for You Here.

ABC’s Keystone’s Apprenticeship Program offers four-year programs, complete with hands-on instruction and apprenticeships in PA, to train apprentices for construction careers with high wage potential, upward mobility, and the opportunity the build the life they want. It’s the perfect place for you if you’re someone who knows your potential, loves to work hard, enjoys working with your hands, and has career aspirations.
