OBN Second Chance Initiative Craft Beer Apprenticeship Program will be be a post-release apprenticeship program registered with the Department of Labor. It will be a "earn & learn" model which means the apprentices (individuals who are justice-involved) will be paid a salary while going to school and attending on-the-job training at a real brewery with experienced mentors.
Prior to initiating the program with OBN Second Chance Initiative, each apprentice will attend a 4-week Job-Readiness Program with Second Chance Programs.
Participants engage in 160 hours of intensive instruction in which they break down personal barriers to employment, develop new skills, create résumés and master interviewing techniques.
Upon graduating the 4-week job readiness program, each approved apprentice will start both their educational classes at San Diego State University and also their on-the-job training at an actual brewery.
The educational portion of the program will consist from 12-18 months of instructional certified curriculum with San Diego State University's Professional Craft Beer Program.
Each apprentice will receive up to 9-months of paid on-the-job training with Prison Break Brewery and other Southern California Craft Beer Breweries who participate in this program.
After successful completion, each apprentice will be offered full-time employment opportunities with Prison Break Brewery, and other breweries located throughout Southern California.
