The mentor
component of the CTC initiative is essential, because it
provides preapprentices access to real life expertise from
construction tradespersons. These mentors help youth “navigate the rough
waters” of teenage years and career exploration.They visit students at their high school or technical institute and
help them “chart a course” for completing high school and gaining
necessary skills to become valued members of society and the workforce.
If you would like more information or would like to volunteer as a
CTC Mentor, please contact the CTC Coordinator at (941) 361-6090
ext. 113 or email at ctcinfo@swdb.org.
