We are available to mentor your search or offer approved apprenticeship opportunities. We collaborate one-on-one to understand your areas of interest and talk about your options. There are several considerations related to logistics (where to live), timing (seasonal work), planning related supplemental instruction (unpaid), and your career goals. My phone is 559-670-0352. Please text and I will reach out to you when I come in from the field. To learn more, please email Kelly@OpenSource.ag with your contact information. We can meet up or Zoom.
