This May we celebrated our Millwright Apprenticeship graduates; Doug Praska, James Stapleton, and Shawn Hudnell. These individuals demonstrated great determination and perseverance in completing this demanding and honorable program.
The apprenticeship program is a four-year commitment, consisting of 156 classroom hours and 2000 field training hours a year. Apprentices complete four levels of training, where they master problem solving, math (up to trigonometry), precision layouts, welding, hydraulics, repairs and maintenance, rigging, and pneumatics. Participation in this program is voluntary; no employee is required to enroll.
At Keen, we believe in building strong foundations. This apprenticeship program is a very important piece of that puzzle. Congratulations to our recent graduates and thank you to all who help make this program a success!
