AAMD Launches Maintenance Apprenticeship Program
I
t is clear there is a great need for mainte-
nance professionals in the fast-growing
Denver Metro area. In partnership with
Emily Griffith Technical College and the Colo-
rado Department of Labor and Employment,
AAMD is happy to announce the launch of the
new Maintenance Apprenticeship Program
(MAP)!
MAP is a six-week program that is
designed to train future maintenance profes-
sionals (with little or no experience) with the
skills needed for a career in the multifamily
industry. This program consists of 48 hours of
in-class learning and a minimum of 96 hours at
www.aamdhq.org
a paid on-site apprenticeship. Both parts work
simultaneously over a six-week period to
prepare the student for a career in maintenance.
The goal of this program is to provide individu-
als with a job opportunity and career path upon
completion. The first program is scheduled to
begin July 28, 2017.
We are looking to partner with our
members to host the apprenticeship portion of
the program at a local apartment community.
Students will serve their 96-hour commitment
at your community while working under a
trained maintenance professional. At the
conclusion of the program, Industry Partners
are encouraged to
hire their appren-
tice if the
candidate is a good
fit. If you are an
Owner or Property
Management com-
pany interested in
participating,
please contact Lisa
Godbehere for more information.
If you know of anyone that would be a good
candidate for the program, please have them
apply at www.ProApartments.com/MAP.
