    Military Veteran Telecommunication Tower Technician Apprentice

    (No Experience Required)

    Adaptive Construction Solutions (ACS) is looking for military veterans who believe they have what it takes to earn their place as a professional tower technician in the telecommunication industry. The nation’s telecommunication companies are rapidly updating their towers to the latest technology. Upon placement into a full-time job, veterans participate in an apprenticeship program that provides industry recognized credentials to sustain a stable career.

    Apprenticeship programs provide apprentices the opportunity to progress from an entry-level position to journey-level status through a combination of related technical instruction and on-the-job training while being employed from the commencement. In addition to earning competitive wages, while learning a skilled trade, veterans may apply to receive a tax-free monthly housing allowance from their GI Bill benefits.

    ACS is a veteran owned and operated organization committed to enhancing lives through in demand careers. ACS is a sponsor of a Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship program for multiple occupations.
