We are so excited to share this article from Colorado Community Media that highlights our program and the lives we are changing everyday!

Passion: a noun that means - "a strong and barely controllable emotion." It is a beautiful thing to actually experience PASSION as it is lived out and demonstrated. The Master's Apprentice Program site visit with LONG Building Technologies was an incredible example of what passion can do in the individual lives of people and what it takes to build a great company. Huge thanks to Sarah Stoker and Mike Neidig with Leonardi Training Center for sharing your inspiration, knowledge and wisdom. Great leaders have many qualities that are contagious and I know many people "caught it" and got it yesterday! #trades #hvac #electrical #makeadifference #passion

In life and at work so much is determined by "how you show up". The attitude you "show up" with, can determine how well a critical conversation goes. "Showing up" with the right amount of prep work before a race, can often determine if you will win. How you "show up" everyday at work can determine your future promotion. "Showing up" physically, mentally and emotionally prepared is the key to being the best version of you no matter the situation. Be present and be "HERE NOW"! #mindset #trades #dothework #leadership #grit #optimism #here #now

Need some motivation today? Watch Torrence speak about how to be "Here Now." https://lnkd.in/g5XZnxV5

Partnership. It really is key and also such a fun part of what we get to do. Partners like Namaste Solar is a part of what makes us at The Master's Apprentice Program an incredible option for those wanting to get into the trades. Our recent field visit confirmed that Namaste Solar is a company that says, "People come to work Namaste, out of a desire to align their work and their values." At The Master's Apprentice Program, we teach, skills that give individuals the foundation for success in a career, but also in life. The "who" you do life with, is just as important as the "what" you do in life! Huge thanks to Namaste Solar. #partnership #solar #trades #teamwork #electric #apprenticeship

We got the chance on CBS News recently to share more about our program thanks to Mekialaya White and her show Making Ends Meet.

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 The Master’s Apprentice has partnered with the Colorado Pay It Forward Fund to offer zero-interest loans for living expenses to qualifying students. This initiative enables students to focus on The Master’s Apprentice’s intensive six-week, hands-on training program without the burden of financial stress. Although tuition is free, many potential students can't afford to leave full-time jobs. These loans, originated by Ascent Funding, bridge that gap, allowing more individuals to access valuable training in trades like carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Graduates enjoy a high job placement rate and significantly higher starting wages. Scott Flores, COO of The Master’s Apprentice, emphasizes the transformative nature of the program, which is now more accessible thanks to this financial support. Andrew Chen from Social Finance highlights the dual benefit: empowering students and providing local employers with a skilled, diverse workforce. A success story is Eden, a single mother who used her loan to cover rent during training. She graduated with multiple job offers, landing a rewarding career that doubled her previous earnings. This partnership aims to bolster Colorado's workforce with skilled talent, driven by the support from foundations like the Colorado Health Foundation and Walton Family Foundation. Interested in jumpstarting a career in the trades? Enrollment is open for the next session starting June 24. Apply now and learn more at socialfinance.org/Colorado.

Denver-based trade school The Master's Apprentice Program has joined our Colorado Pay It Forward Fund! Through this partnership, The Master’s Apprentice students can now access zero-interest loans to help them pay for living expenses as they complete the program’s hands-on, six-week training in electrical, carpentry, HVAC, or plumbing. From Eden, recent graduate and loan recipient: “Enrolling in The Master’s Apprentice was the best thing I could have done. It not only gave me the skills I needed to start a new career, but it provided me with a loan that allowed me to focus on my training without worrying about how I would pay my rent. Now, I have a job that I’m passionate about. I’m not just making ends meet, I’m building a future for myself and my daughters."
