Work at Hennepin Energy Recovery Center, as an Operator Apprentice, while taking classes with PPL and Minneapolis College. During the program you will be prepared to drive heavy machinery, receive 3+ certifications and gain on the job experience. The hours would be part time but you would be paid for full time hours. The type of work done at the HERC site is physical labor, loud and stinky as you are working with the recycling and waste of the county and you will get to see what this environment is like with on site tours and shadowing before graduation. You will also be PAID 40 hours a week at a rate of around $27 per hour.
