Great that you are trying to leverage paid opportunities! You may want to reaching out to St Louis Construction Cooperative (plumbing, pipefitting & HVAC). The organization offers paid apprenticeships in those areas. These two are not paid but lead to paid work: Missouri Works Institute and STLCC Joint Apprenticeship.

Hope that helps and you are able to get the paid apprenticeship!

Hi Kareem,Yes! You can absolutely find a part-time job, and targeting a position aligned with your Home Builders Institute (HBI) trade is a smart way to gain experience.Here is exactly how you can make this happen:1. Ask About Leisure Time Employment (LTE)Job Corps centers have an LTE program allowing students to work part-time.You usually must be on campus for at least 90 days first.You must maintain excellent behavior and attendance to qualify.You must complete a set percentage of your primary trade training.2. Use Work-Based Learning (WBL)Speak directly with your HBI trade instructor or counselor.Ask to be placed in a Work-Based Learning (WBL) assignment.WBL connects students directly with local construction employers.This ensures your job counts toward your training hours and credentials.3. Check Local Union or HBI Partner NetworksHBI is partnered with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).Ask instructors for a list of local residential builders hiring helpers.Look for pre-apprenticeship helper roles that match your specific trade.4. Manage Your ScheduleRemember that your Job Corps trade classes are your primary priority.Look for part-time work that offers evening or weekend shifts.Be upfront with employers about your strict daytime training schedule.Talk to your center’s Career Development Counselor as your very first step to get the required permissions!
