Pathways to Apprenticeship

Pathways To Apprenticeship, Inc. is charged with building careers and community to last a lifetime. Careers in the building trades lead to solid middle-class incomes, ending the intergenerational poverty that holds low-income New York families hostage. Since its founding by a small group of volunteers in 2013, P2A has assisted over 300 people from low-income communities (66% of whom were formerly incarcerated) to be admitted into a building trades apprenticeship program. More than 85% of these graduates are still working in the building trades and many of them have become P2A Peer Mentors, teaching classes and conducting information sessions.
