Is Mentoring for You?

Are you looking for a new challenge?  Are you looking for a way to make you feel useful to your profession in a new way?  Are you looking for a way to build your own skills?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, this mentoring opportunity could be just for you.  To be a mentor for a new apprentice, you will attend a one-day training and meet with your mentee for at least 2 hours per month.  Stipend will be provided.  For more information about the ACDS mentor program, please contact Suzi Brodof at 1-866-WVA-ACDS, EXT. 406 or sbrodof@rvcds.org or download the application.

 

Visiting Employers

Phase 3 of our connecting with Employers campaign is starting this fall.  ACDS is an employer-based program so our goal is to open the communication between employers, instructors, DOL and apprentices.  We feel that the more information employers have about ACDS, the better it will work for them and their employees.  In Phase I, we offered daylong seminars in 9 locations around the state to explain the basics of ACDS to employers.  In Phase II, we provided this training at several state and regional conferences around the state.  In Phases III, Enola Foust, Southern Regional Coordinator, Sherrie Barrett, Apprenticeship Specialist, and Suzi Brodof, State Coordinator will be meeting with individual employers around the state to make sure they are all up to date on the latest information on ACDS.  If you are an employer and have not been contacted by any of the above people and would like to schedule a visit, please contact Suzi Brodof at 1-866-982-2237 or sbrodof@rvcds.org.

If you are interested in finding out more information about becoming an Apprentice, you can contact Suzi Brodof at 1-866-WVACDS, EXT. 406 or suzilb@aol.com, Enola Foust at 1-304-425-4545 or Sherrie Barrett at 1-866-WVACDS, EXT 404.
