I live in california as well. I was thinking about applying for the apprenticeship programs across the country. What made you decide to apply for mountain states? Did you just apply for all the programs? I'm trying to decide what programs to apply for first, so any advice you could give would be appreciated. Is there a lot of work in mountain states? Do you know what regions are looking for the most apprentices?

Well i decided to go with mountain states becouse at the time they were the only ones near me that were accepting applications plus I loved the mountains in california and its beutiful out here. and its a lot closer than back east.

That makes sense. How long did it take you to get called? I'm going to apply for northwest line. Just waiting on getting my high school transcripts right now. I was going to apply for mountain states next. What kind of qualifications did you have? Did you have your class a when you applied? Where you working as a groundman?
