massachusetts Pre-apprenticeship and vocational school training Program
"I had every intention of sitting down this morning and writing you an email explaining what an unbelievable experience last week was for our students, but seeing these comments is better than any email I could have written. I have already received a number of emails from teachers detailing the pride that the students felt taking part in the program, and how all week they would go visit teachers after school and excitedly go over their day. I have gotten emails from students asking if they can be part of the program again next year, and emails from new students asking how they can take part in the program if it comes back next year. The impact that you both, and the program, have left on our students is beyond measure and I cannot thank you enough - I know that this experience has been life changing for a number of students.TitleTiltle
(And I had a blast too!)
Thank you so much again, and I truly hope that we can continue bringing this program and more to our students at NHS."
The Pre-apprenticeship was an amazing experience. I learned a ton from the program and got a taste of what it would be like to work in the construction industry.
I wanted to extend my sincere gratitude for all your support this week. Jeff, thank you for providing such valuable training through the MASS DOT program. The knowledge and skills shared have made a lasting impact on my students, and they’re more prepared than ever to take the next steps in their careers.
Erin and Tory, I truly appreciate your help with the students' resumes and Erin at the Laborers Training facility. Your guidance was invaluable, and the students greatly benefited from your insights and hands-on support.
It’s partnerships like these that make all the difference for our students, and I’m grateful for your time, effort, and dedication. Looking forward to working with you all again in the future!
Great week highly recommend it to future students
I thought this "class" was a very good opportunity and almost an eye opener to a lot of people because most of us don't know that there is opportunity and people out there to help us achieve our goals.
I really liked this week. It got me thinking about construction careers. What we did this week, I learned a lot of skills that I didn't know from before. Thank you for the training.
Loved this course, the teacher was very helpful and pleasant. Interested in the topic as well as happy with the certifications I achieved in the process.
We can't thank you and Tom enough for tackling this project. The students had a great time, top it off with a CPR Certification and it's a win win!
"Hi Tommy,
Thank you for running another incredible program at FCTS! We are so grateful and our students have spoken very highly of you and the program as a whole. They also asked when you'll return so they can visit you...if that isn't a testament to the great work you are doing, I am not sure what is!
With that said, we would like to lock in our dates for November 2024.
"Your Pre-Apprenticeship Program is outstanding."

This course has definitely been an eye opener to other jobs and other opportunities for work that I didn't even know existed. You really get to see what it is like after school and in the real world and the money you can make without a degree. I really appreciated the experience this course has given me.
