The Finishing Trades Institute of the Mid-Atlantic Region’s (FTI-MAR) in partnership with the Philadelphia School District have developed a Vocational Intern Partnership (VIP) Program. This program is created to educate and provide hands-on experience in painting, drywall finishing and glazing to students in their Junior and Senior years of high school. The goal of the program is to provide our inner-city youth the opportunity to experience the potential that careers in the building trades have to offer by providing professional instruction and guidance in these trades. The program is geared to be a stepping-stone for students to progress from classroom to potential apprentices in these industries by teaching them the skills and knowledge that is needed to be a successful tradesperson.
This program is 14 weeks long and students attend the FTI-MAR on specified days during the regular school week. Students enrolled in this program have the opportunity to receive recognized construction wide industry certifications, such as, OSHA 10, Scaffold Erector Dismantler and First Aid/CPR. Additionally, topics of instruction also include Trade Math, Labor History, Blueprint Reading and soft life skills including Interview Preparation.
In 2009, the FTI became the first stand-alone building trades apprenticeship program to receive full accreditation with the Council on Occupational Education (COE).
In 2016, the Glazing Program was the first apprenticeship program in Pennsylvania approved to confer an Associate’s in Specialized Technology (AST) Degree by the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools.
