The Institute for Workplace Skills & Innovation America is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service to develop and launch a national apprenticeship program for forestry technicians. The apprenticeship program is part of the Forest Service’s strategy to meet current and future staffing needs and ensure the long-term sustainability of forest management across the U.S., as well as offer career opportunities to underrepresented and marginalized groups.
Launched in May 2022 as a collaboration between IWSI America and the California Department of Rehabilitation (CDOR), Ready, Willing and ABLE has already demonstrated success in providing individuals with disabilities the opportunity to gain valuable skills, earn competitive wages, and pursue fulfilling careers. At the program’s core are registered apprenticeships: paid, structured training programs that combine on-the-job experience with classroom learning, allowing participants to gain industry-recognized skills and credentials while earning a wage.
In partnership with the California Department of Rehabilitation, this is a vocational skills and career transition support program for high school students with a disability or learning impairment.
