Building Employees for the Future...
Individuals can apply for a "trainee" position with Builders, Inc. indicating their desired area of expertise. After a careful review of the application, a decision will be made based on the abilities of the applicant and their suitability to the desired position and training. Following the orientation program, each trainee will be assigned a mentor.The mentor will work with the trainee one-on-one to instruct them in the ins and outs of apartment community maintenance and/or management.
