Apprenticeship Programs Partner with English as a Second Language Programs
Integrated English as a Second Language and Apprenticeship Program (Pierce County) United Union of Roofers, Local 153, Clover Park Technical College and Pierce College pooled their resources and expertise to help Spanish-speaking apprentices overcome language barriers to completing the roofer apprenticeship program. The collaboration created an instructional program that integrated technical and language skills, making them more relevant and easier to learn. At one time, most non-English speaking apprentices did not complete roofing apprenticeship training. Today, with a retention rate of 100 percent, this program is a model for similar programs around the state.
