Student Application

Construction trade jobs are often mobile, requiring individuals to reach job sites that are usually not accessible by public transportation. Please let us know about your current transportation situation:

FINANCIAL STATUS

The Master's Apprentice prioritizes class seats based on financial need. Please answer the following questions about your income.

JUSTICE HISTORY

The Master's Apprentice works to help individuals who are justice impacted in their search for employment. Please tell us the following:

Construction companies expect students to commit to a drug-free lifestyle, including abstaining from THC/Marijuana, despite its legal status in Colorado. At The Master’s Apprentice, we require all students to be drug-free. However, previous use of any substance, including THC/Marijuana, does not disqualify a student from joining our program.

Important Note: Past substance abuse does not disqualify you from applying to our program. However, based on our experience, we have found that individuals with at least six months of sobriety are more likely to succeed in both completing our program and establishing a long-term career in the construction trades industry. If your sobriety has been less than 6 months, we encourage you to reapply later and prioritize your recovery first!

YOUR FUTURE CAREER

We partner with Ascent Funding and the Colorado Pay it Forward Fund to help students cover expenses like rent or utilities while they are enrolled in our program. If you are interesting in learning more about this option, click here.
