Build a future through Grossmont College's ironworkers apprenticeships
If joining the ranks of well-paid ironworkers piques your interest, Grossmont College is partnering with Ironworkers Local 229 to offer a two-week pre-apprenticeship program to introduce trainees to the field, after which they may be selected as paid apprentices with starting salaries and benefits totaling nearly $30 an hour.
Ironworkers are in the construction trades building the structural steel framework of metal buildings, stadiums, arenas, hospitals, towers and bridges. Journeymen earn salary packages totaling nearly $70 an hour.
The start dates for this year’s remaining two-week pre-apprenticeship sessions are July 27 and Oct. 12. The first cohort of 10 trainees completed the pre-apprenticeships in June, with all hired for the next phase as paid apprentices. A fourth cohort will start Feb. 22, 2019. The training combines hands-on learning with classroom work from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday at the Ironworkers Training Center at 3888 Beech St. in the Fairmount Park neighborhood of San Diego.

"Beauty and the Beast: A New Musical" takes center stage at Summer Theatre Arts Conservatory
Beauty
and the Beast: A New Musical
is coming to the Grossmont College Stagehouse Theatre from July 26 through Aug.
4 as part of the annual Grossmont College Summer Theatre Arts Conservatory.
Adapted by Jeannette Thomas from
Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve’s “La Belle et la Bete,” Beauty and
the Beast: A New Musical continues the Summer Theatre Arts Conservatory’s
tradition of mixing classic storytelling with modern music. Tickets are selling
at a rapid pace and three performances already are sold out.
Now in its fifth year, the summer conservatory allows student performers and
technicians to learn what it’s like to work in a professional theatre in
daytime and evening classes. Students are taught specialized skills that
include acting, costume design, lighting, set design and marketing at one of
the most respected college theatre programs in the region. The program is free
for the nearly 50 high school and college students taking part.
“The Grossmont
College Theatre Arts Department includes a number of working professionals who
are well known in the local arts community, and the summer conservatory is a
great opportunity for both high school and college students to learn from the
best while earning college credit,” said Beth Duggan, chair of the Theatre Arts
Department. “We are really pleased with this year’s production, which promises
to best one yet.”
