While I am late in promoting National Apprenticeship Week, I did want to speak to our involvement. This #NationalApprenticeshipWeek, we’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible opportunities that apprenticeships bring to the tree care industry. At Townsend Company, LLC, we’re proud to invest in the next generation of arborists by participating in the Indiana Registered Arborist Apprenticeship Program. (https://lnkd.in/gXXfhg5r) This program is more than a career pathway—it’s a commitment to safety, skill-building, and professionalism in an industry that plays a critical role in our communities. Apprenticeships empower individuals to earn while they learn, gaining hands-on experience and mentorship from seasoned professionals, while working towards industry-recognized certifications. We believe in cultivating a workforce that’s equipped to face the challenges of modern arboriculture—from storm response and utility vegetation management to advancing environmental stewardship. Programs like these help us attract passionate individuals, inspire innovation, and raise the bar for safety and excellence in our field. If you or someone you know is considering a career in tree care, now is the time! Learn more about apprenticeship opportunities and how they can help you grow with us. Together, let’s celebrate the power of apprenticeships to shape a stronger, safer, and more sustainable future in arboriculture. #townsendcompanyllc #townsendtree #nggilbert #rowcare #safety #excellence #integrity #character #accountability #isa #uaa #tcia #treefund #z133 #ucfs #ulcsp #eei #csra #tanddworld #uvm #safetydifferently #safety2 #safety #safetyculture #practicingsafety #hop #hpi #resilience #capacity #energywheel #scl #heca #IAA #Safety #UtilityArboriculture #NAW2024 #TreeCare #Arboriculture #SafetyFirst #Apprenticeship #TownsendTeam #CareersThatMatter
