Step Up Savannah is excited to announce that the Chatham Apprentice Program (CAP) will be moving back out into the community starting July 18, 2022. 

During the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, CAP like many programs pivoted to virtual platforms to keep staff, partners, and participants safe. As the incidence rate of COVID-19 has lowered, Step Up Savannah feels that CAP can safely move back to in-person instruction. The Chatham Apprentice Program is a cornerstone workforce development program aimed at helping those in the low wealth community that are unemployed or underemployed receive the skills and credentials they need to access jobs that provide livable wages and promote self-sufficiency. “The Chatham Apprentice Program is instrumental in helping members of our community find a job with a sustainable living wage. Although the program has remained successful during the pandemic, we feel CAP participants get more authentic engagement when the class is held in person,” said Step Up Savannah’s Chatham Apprentice Program Manager Tanika Rivers. 

The July 18, 2022, through August 11, 2022, class will be held from 9am to 12pm at Pennsylvania Avenue Resource Center (425 Pennsylvania Avenue, Savannah) and Moses Jackson Advancement Center (1410-B Richards St, Savannah); however, a limited number of online seats will be made available via zoom for verifiable barriers to transportation and childcare. “We are excited about reopening the program to in-person sessions.  We have added new credential opportunities and a host of new employers eager to get CAP Graduates to work. The sessions will be offered in the neighborhood community centers that provide access to the bus line and we also offer transportation support for those who need it to attend the session,” said Step Up Executive Director Alicia M. Johnson.
