As Of 2019 “Arborist” Is Now Considered A Skilled Trade By The Colorado Department Of Labor. ArborScape Inc. Is Very Proud To Announce That We Are Now Qualified To Begin Our Own Apprenticeship Program And Will Begin Training Apprentices to Become Consulting Arborists. We Are The Third Company In Colorado To Be Approved By The Department Of Labor.
ArborScape provides more than just tree care services for Denver’s urban canopy. Our team of arborists care about the community and is always looking for ways to contribute. One way we’re able to do that is through our apprenticeship program.
As college degrees become more expensive, many high school students and graduates have expressed their hesitancy and caution in obtaining higher education in that traditional sense.
Now that skilled trades have become higher in demand for employees, apprenticeship programs have proven to be a great avenue into industries many haven’t considered before.
