We try to run the first 5 weeks of the program in Adams County at the Adams County Business and Training Center in West Union, OH if we have at least 5-8 participants signed up. 

If there are not enough participants signed up all Adams County participants will come to the Portsmouth location.

Many of our graduates are working in the trade that that have choosen. The goal of this program is to introduce participants to 6 different trades where they can apply and join thier apprenticeship. Once participants graduate from thier respective apprenticship programs, the sky is the limit for work opportunities as Journeyworkers, foreman, general foreman, project managers, contractors, program directors, etc.
