Participants, called apprentices, earn $15 per hour for 20 hours per week. During the 20-week program they have the opportunity to earn their GED as well as a nationally recognized construction certification. Participants also attend post-secondary S.T.E.A.M. classes.

To be eligible, applicants must be a resident of Winston-Salem between 16 and 24 years of age and meet any one of the following criteria: live in a low-income household, be a current or former foster youth, have an incarcerated parent or caregiver, be a youth or adult offender, or have a referral from a social-services agency.

All applicants must pass a city drug screening and background check, register for the Selective Service and be able to lift 25 pounds.
