Week One: Building Connections (Monday, June 20-Friday, June 24)
The focus of the first week is on learning about the wide variety of environmental careers. Apprentices will participate in experiences around the Roaring Fork Valley for first-hand exposure to careers and topics in sustainability, science and education. The apprentices will reflect on their experiences and develop a plan to further explore their chosen career pathways. This week will culminate with a short presentation of what the apprentices have learned.

The focus of the second week is leadership and personal growth.
