What second-year apprentices actually do here

Apprentice at the bench · shop

If you are a second-year apprentice looking at shops, the question you should be asking is what you will actually turn a wrench on.

Here it is marine one day, a logging truck the next, and a family car in between. That variety is the fastest way to build real diagnostic instinct.

We support hours toward your ticket and we do not use apprentices as cheap labour.
