The 13th addition to the critically acclaimed It Happened to Me
series is designed to help young adults explore career options and
find jobs by providing specific details about apprenticeship
programs in their desired field. There are more than 800
apprenticeable jobs in the United States (e.g. painters, paper
hangers, wall finishers, glaziers, sign and display workers,
plumbers, gasfitters, welders, roofers, bricklayers, carpenters,
cooks, stage technicians, health care workers, and military
opportunities). Written for teenagers who are not interested in
going directly to college, this book covers opportunities that are
currently active in the United States, and provides an overview of
the work involved in each job category, the job outlook, salary,
and expected growth in that area through 2012. Each section
concludes with an extensive resource list of contact names,
addresses, and websites of places to go to find out more
information about the job of interest. Chapters also include
interviews with young people who are currently working in
apprenticeship programs. Teens will learn how this young person
found the apprenticeship, how he or she enjoys the work, and how
the classroom portion of the apprenticeship is handled. For young
people who are interested in learning on the job, for those who are
looking for an alternative to the traditional four-year college
degree, who can't afford college, who want to be trained in a
specific trade and enjoy learning in a hands-on environment, or who
want to "earn while they learn," this book provides a solid basis
to explore and research potential careers and to make informed
decisions about whether an apprenticeship is the right career move.
