Training
Students in the program acquire essential career readiness skills and in-demand technical competencies.
Support

Our CareerWise Colorado partnership helps students on the path to success
In 2016, Pinnacol became one of the first companies to join CareerWise Colorado.
The modern statewide apprenticeship program is modeled after a similar system in Switzerland that helps students figure out their future.
By seeing how the combination of education and career can advance students toward postsecondary success, our program and CareerWise partnership help students prepare for and look forward to joining the professional world.
CareerWise serves as the primary intermediary between businesses and students, ensuring that opportunities like those offered at Pinnacol are accessible to stakeholders around the state.
