In an era where skilled trades are in high demand, it is crucial to bridge the gap between opportunity youth and promising careers in landscape, irrigation, and planting trades. Our pre-apprenticeship landscape program stands as a beacon of hope, offering a transformative journey for young individuals to cultivate not only the land but also their futures.

Empowering Opportunity Youth Our program is designed to cater specifically to opportunity youth - those who face barriers to employment and education. Through a comprehensive curriculum, participants undergo intensive training in soft skills, empowering them with the interpersonal abilities crucial for success in the professional world. We believe that investing in these foundational skills is key to unlocking their potential and setting them on a path to long-term success.

Nurturing Skills in Landscape, Irrigation, and Planting Once equipped with essential soft skills, participants delve into hands-on training in landscape, irrigation, and planting trades. Our state-of-the-art facilities provide a real-world environment where they learn the intricacies of sustainable landscaping, efficient irrigation systems, and the art of planting. From understanding soil composition to mastering the use of cutting-edge equipment, participants gain a comprehensive skill set that prepares them for a fulfilling career in the trades.

Union Apprenticeship Sponsorship Upon successful completion of the pre-apprenticeship program, participants are not just left with a certificate but are given a unique opportunity to join a prestigious union apprenticeship. We are proud to partner with leading unions in the industry, ensuring that our graduates receive sponsorship that propels them into the next phase of their careers. This sponsorship is more than a mere job offer – it's an investment in their professional growth, opening doors to a network of seasoned professionals and unparalleled learning experiences.

Our pre-apprenticeship landscape program goes beyond traditional training, offering a holistic approach that empowers opportunity youth to thrive in the landscape, irrigation, and planting trades. By focusing on soft skills, practical training, and union apprenticeship sponsorship, we pave the way for a brighter future, not just for the individuals involved but for the entire community.
