ANEW APPRENTICESHIP and
NONTRADITIONAL
ANEW EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN

ANEW

PLEASE POST

This accredited training through Renton Technical College is
designed for motivated women who meet income guidelines and
are interested in getting into a nontraditional job or
apprenticeship program in the trades.
To be eligible, you must reside within Seattle or King County
and be considered low income under Federal Job Training
Partnership Act (JTPA) eligibility requirements. This program
is targeted for those without a GED or without education beyond
high school. Therefore, those with a college degree are not
eligible. Two trainings are offered each year: September and
February.

The training is five months long, meeting from 8:00 a.m. to
3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. You will study trades math, blueprint reading and drawing,
mechanical and electrical theory and practice, basic carpentry and construction techniques, and
practice these skills on a variety of shop projects. You will also be introduced to working with
pipe, concrete, welding, and other trade skills which will allow you to apply for a variety of
entry-level jobs. You will build strength and endurance by doing aerobics and working out with
weights, and by doing at least one hour of hard physical work each day. The Job/Life Skills
classes will help you work on personal issues and learn how to get and keep a nontraditional job
or apprenticeship.
Graduates find their own jobs, assisted by ANEW’s Job Developer. The five months of training
are meant to lead to your employment upon graduation—but getting a job or entering an
apprenticeship depends on your own motivation and efforts. ANEW graduates are well prepared
for entry-level (or higher, depending on experience) jobs in trades and industry. Graduates find
the program a source of encouragement and positive support, as well as a source for job
referrals.

*GED OR DIPLOMA NOT REQUIRED TO APPLY * You must be 22 years old to apply.
