At DIAG USA, we offer our apprentices some pretty incredible perks to ensure their success throughout and beyond our program. One of the most valuable of these perks is the Apprenticeship Bootcamp! At this bootcamp session, we teach our student apprentices everything about what it means to be an apprentice, what an apprenticeship is (and most importantly) we prepare them for applying for their apprenticeship jobs.
Beyond the classroom training, every apprentice needs to be hired by a company to receive the on-the-job, or "hands-on" training. This experience is exactly like applying for a regular job.
In these bootcamps we cover topics around interview skills and resume writing skills. Check out the details for what we cover in our sessions below!
