Apprenticeships
The School at Annapolis Woodworks has started an apprenticeship program to replicate what was done in the 1700's. The apprentice essentially became the master's right arm and was treated as a member of the family for several years while learning the trade.
Guidelines:
•Apprenticeships are for a finite length of time ranging from a minimum of two months to a maximum of four months.
•The Apprentice and Troy will agree on projects and goals in writing before beginning apprenticeship.
•Apprentice is responsible for his or her own transportation, meals & lodging.
•Apprentice is responsible for enrolling in all courses offered during the apprenticeship at a reduced tuition rate.
•Apprentice is responsible for shop clean up, machine/tool maintenance and helping with lunch during the duration of his or her apprenticeship.
Once accepted, candidates are required to have taken Handtool Joinery before further consideration for the program can be made.
