At just 19, Jacob Morley is well on his way to an in-demand career thanks to his auto technician apprenticeship at Goodwin Chevrolet and Mazda in Brunswick, Maine. He enrolled through the Maine Apprenticeship Program and enjoys the gradual progression of tasks and projects guided by his assigned mentors. "I would say 100% do it. It's a great opportunity. You'll learn a lot, and there's nothing really better than that,"" he said. ""If you're a hands-on learner, it's great." Oh, and did we mention this apprenticeship is PAID? Yep, Jacob jump-started his auto technician career by learning the trade WHILE earning a paycheck. Check out other opportunities like this here: https://lnkd.in/g59CWKUW
