Green Jobs Apprenticeships

Our Green Jobs Apprenticeships Program provides 16 weeks of professional skills training to Hartford young adults, giving them the qualifications needed to secure full-time employment in an industry that is hiring, while also providing them with a livable wage.

With an anticipated industry increase of 26.4% by the year 2028, The Green Technology and Sustainability industry is a great field for Hartford residents to begin exploring!

Apprentices take part in horticultural training & life skills workshops before advancing to further educational and employment opportunities.

Each season KNOX welcomes two classes of apprentices who are all ages 18 to 30 and not currently in school. All earn a living wage while learning how to plant and trees, community gardens, and how to service landscaping accounts to KNOX Customers.

The program consists of two tiers of training, Tier 1 apprentices gain hands-on landscaping work experience, professional skills, and Occupations Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) certifications. Tier 2 apprentices make up a golf crew at the Goodwin and Keney golf courses where they learn and gain experience in golf course landscape management.
