Moraine Park Technical College announced that 48 construction and industrial trade apprentices received a $2,000 Tools of the Trade scholarship from Ascendium this year.
Apprenticeships pair on-the-job training with classroom instruction, allowing individuals to “earn while they learn.” According to the Wisconsin Technical College System’s most recent apprenticeship completion report, registered apprentices who complete their related instruction through a Wisconsin technical college earn an annual median salary of $90,000.
Over the last 13 years, Ascendium has provided over $8.8 million in scholarships through its Tools of the Trade Scholarship Program.
