Josh Hanna Graduated from Irish Boat Shop's Two-Year Apprenticeship Program |
|
Josh Hanna of Charlevoix graduated from Irish Boat Shop's two-year Apprenticeship Program this spring. Josh joined the shop in the spring of 2019 when Irish first launched the program. The IBS Apprenticeship Program grew out of the need to cultivate new talent in the marine industry as many of our seasoned technicians retire over the next several years.
Apprenticeship programs benefit employers and employees, creating a partnership beyond a paycheck for a good day's work. Employees get a skill-based education in an industry that is new to them while being paid and receiving the benefits of a full-time employee. Employers gain an effective tool for recruiting, building, and retaining a highly skilled workforce.
