This is good news because allows tree care companies to establish apprenticeship programs. ArborScape Inc. is very proud to announce that we are now qualified to begin our own apprenticeship program and will begin training apprentices soon. We are the third company in Colorado to be approved by the Department of Labor.
Teaching will be conducted in partnership with Front Range Community College who will administer the program.
