We’re building something special here.
YOUR CAREER.
Opportunities are always under construction.
We get it. You want a career to be proud of. A career that pays well – where you can say, “Hey, I built that.” But first you need to find pros willing to give you direction and exposure. Pros who will help you open doors and find your place in that career.
We are those pros.
We are The Master’s Apprentice

We are dedicated to helping you begin a career in the construction trades.
We provide the opportunity. You provide the determination. The industry provides the careers. It’s a win-win-win.

our mission
The Master’s Apprentice mission is to provide young adults a bridge to the skilled trades through basic training, on-the-job experience and the creation of a career path that will enable transition to financial stability.
Why a career in the trades?
Colorado needs 45,000 new construction workers by 2027.
This is tough, respectable work with job stability, quality pay, and benefits from the start. And the trades have clear paths for steady pay increases as you move up the ladder. These careers are challenging but have very high job satisfaction.
Provide for yourself. Provide for your family. Start your journey toward a 6-figure career.
Are the trades right for you?
Ask yourself:
- Do you want regular work, 40 hours a week or more?
- Do you enjoy working with your hands and saying, “I built something today.”
- Do you want job security with good pay and benefits?
- Do you like being outside and working at different sites?
- Do you want a career where hard work is rewarded with regular raises and a defined path to a journeyman’s license?
Yes? Then we invite you to learn more.
