Pace Community Action Agency Announces New ‘Training for Trades’ Paid Internship

Pace Community Action Agency, Inc. is excited to announce that applications are currently being accepted for a new innovative program.  Training for Trades was designed to provide a hands-on internship for individuals who may not be interested in traditional 4-year degree programs or who want to enter the workforce immediately after high school. 

The internship will consist of an 8-week paid summer internship program open to those 17 years of age and up. The experiential learning will focus on, amongst other things, energy efficiency measures, computer training, cleaning equipment, and soft skills. Upon completion of the program, participants will have an updated resume with current work experience. Dr. Bertha Proctor, Pace CEO states, “This program is in alignment with our mission ‘to improve the community and encourage self-reliance’. 

Pace has hosted over 60 interns in the past 10 years in various departments. Internships are a great way for youth and others to gain exposure to a variety of career options and allows them to make connections in their local communities.

Training for Trades internship applications can be found on Pace’s website – www.pacecaa.org.
