2020 Annual Report
Apprenticeship Preparation
ANEW Currently has three programs running under Apprenticeship Preparation: Trades Rotation Program, PACE Program and Construction Bootcamp.
PACE Data
The graph below shows the overall graduation, placement and retention rates for these cohorts. Retention rates are as of September 30, 2020.
The three-year total for enrollments for the PACE program is 153 students in 9 cohorts. ANEW acquired the PACE program mid-2018, so there were only 2 cohorts 2018, 5 cohorts for 2019, and 2 completed cohorts to date for 2020. There is one additional cohort for 2020 in process.
Trades Rotation Program Data
The graph below shows the overall graduation, placement and retention rates for these cohorts. Retention rates are as of September 30, 2020.
The three-year total for enrollments for the TRP program is 397 students in 14 cohorts. There were 7 cohorts in 2018, 5 cohorts in 2019 and 2 completed cohorts to date for 2020. These is one additional cohort for 2020 in process.
For this three-year period there are 172 individuals still working in family wage career positions at a minimum wage of $40,000 annually (without benefits and advancements). This is a very low estimate of annual wages as many of these individuals are third year apprentices and making double that amount. But if you use the average of $40,000, these individuals bring in $6.8M each year to the Washington economy.
Construction Bootcamp
ANEW’s Construction Bootcamp Program is a career exploration program to introduce people to construction career pathways. These programs are 4-week programs and are often is more rural areas like Mount Vernon. We also conduct Construction Bootcamp Programs at Green Hill, a juvenile rehabilitation facility, to expose incarcerated youth to construction careers. Typically, these clients have additional barriers to overcome before entering employment after the program.
Apprenticeship Opportunity Project
ANEW’s Apprenticeship Opportunity Project provides employment navigation, financial support services and retention services to individuals with barriers to employment, including those financial barriers keeping them from starting an apprenticeship program. Financial assistance can be used for driver’s licensing, initiation fees, tuition, work clothes and occupation specific tools.
*clients served include students of apprenticeship preparation and clients enrolled in prior years.
RISE Up (Respect, Inclusion, Safety and Equity in the Construction Trades)
The RISE Up Program was created to shift the culture of construction to be more inclusive of diverse populations. This program started in partnership with the City of Seattle and Sound Transit.
The program includes customizable training for individuals at every level of the organization. Training for workers includes topics such as bystander intervention and jobsite expectations. Manager training provides training on how to recognize inappropriate behavior and how to address behaviors that might detract from productivity and safety. Training for the leadership team includes how to measure diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and why it is important for the bottom line.
In addition to training, ANEW staff can assist with the creation of mentorship programs, policy review and assessment, and best practices for creating an affinity group.
Licensing for the training is available for organization who wish to train their employees or organizations who wish to provide training to the construction industry.
