Participant Voices
Real people. Real outcomes
The staff put me at ease from day one. The program is free, you get paid to learn, and everything about it surprised me — from the field trips to the hands-on work. Overall, it was a great experience.

Pave the Way Up Graduate
This was hands down the best decision I made. I was trying to get into an apprenticeship for years, and it was a struggle. TUF put me on the right path to starting the career I want.
