Apprenticeship

The Open Roads Apprenticeship is designed for young people to gain essential career readiness skills. Youth who complete other programs in Open Roads and show the drive and skills required to move forward will be able to apply for an Apprenticeship.

Participants will be mentored by Open Roads staff in job skills needed to successfully run the Open Roads Bike Shop and assorted youth bike programs!

Starting in 2020, shop Apprentices will primarily be hired through the Kalamazoo Y.O.U. My City Career 2.0 program. Learn more about it here and keep an eye out for their Application which will open in late January!
