Youth Apprentice Week takes place this week. I have met with representatives of four trade unions in the Oakley area. The I.B.E.W., Sprinkler Fitters, Sheet Metal Workers, and Plumbing and Steamfitters inform me of their vital apprentice programs. All report that there is a need for candidates to fill the ranks within their apprentice programs.

Eric Volta, Superintendent of the Liberty Union High School District, recently spoke to the City Council. He explained that there is a trade apprentice program for the high school students at Freedom High School. I want to acknowledge the efforts for such a program within Oakley’s High School Below is a link to a United States Department of Labor reminder that this week is Youth Apprentice Week:
