NYCHA is seeking residents who are qualified candidates to join a Painter's Apprenticeship program. This opportunity to enter into an Apprentice program is designed specifically for NYCHA residents to learn a skilled trade. Wages start at more than $27,000 per year, based on a 35-hour work week. After completing the four-year program, wages potentially can increase up to $68,000 per year, with full union benefits.
All applicants must be an authorized NYCHA resident, be at least 18 years old, be able to pass a drug test and have a high school diploma or be in the process of getting a GED. Participants will learn skills to become a union painter; training includes on-the-job as well as classroom instruction. The Painter's Apprenticeship program is sponsored by the New York City Council.
To apply, residents who also are NYCHA employees should submit their cover letter and resume through the Employee Self-Service (ESS) system at www.nyc.gov/ess; search for Job ID "Painter Apprentice." All other resident applicants should submit their cover letter and resume at
www.nyc.gov/careers/search; search for Job ID "Painter Apprentice." Only applicants scheduled for interviews will be contacted. Submitting an application does not guarantee getting an interview. All resumes must be received no later than the last day of the posting period.
