The real goal is to supply them with the knowledge we've attained through our experiences in the field 和 help them build off that foundation. Many apprentices who graduate from the MRA program move into the field to be successful technicians. Others have gone on to higher positions such as Controls or higher management while others have gone on to pursue higher education 和 get technical degrees."
