T
he Maintenance
Apprenticeship Program
(MAP) launched on July 28,
2017 with 20 students enrolled
in the program. Since then, there have
been five sessions with a total of 115
students. MAP was created to fill the
industry need for on-site maintenance
professionals. Students went through the
six-week program that teaches them the
soft and technical skills to work in the
industry.
Of the 115 students that went through MAP,
86* students have completed the program
and 56* are currently working in the
industry as maintenance professionals.
MAP is the first program of its kind in
Colorado and nationally. AAMD has helped
numerous associations across the country

develop a similar program to
serve their geographic area. In
May, the National Apartment
Association announced the
winners of their national
awards program. AAMD is the
proud recipient of the National
Apartment Association Affiliate Education
Excellence award for MAP. These awards
are competitive and difficult to win with
over 185 affiliates to choose from across
the nation.
The Maintenance Apprenticeship
Program would not be possible without
AAMD’s valued partners. Emily Griffith
Technical College developed the approved
curriculum and provided the instructors
for the program. AAMD also partnered
with Main Spring Resourcing, Hire
Session 1 Session 2
Session 3 Session 4
Connections and BG Multifamily,
which are the three staffing companies
that facilitated and payrolled the students
throughout the apprenticeship part of
the program. Finally, this program would
not be possible without the properties
and staff that hosted and trained the
apprentice students.
The next MAP session is scheduled
to begin in September 2018. AAMD is
excited to continue this program and
bring in new maintenance talent to
our industry!
