This fall, Coppera Plumbing & Commercial Services is launching Craftsman College, a new earn-as-you-learn trade school in Taylor.
“We’re working with the United States Department of Labor and area school districts to create innovative environments for entrepreneurial students,” said Lindsie O’Neill Almquist, the college’s inaugural president and the chief culture officer for Coppera. “We have our inaugural pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs starting Fall of 2023.”
Almquist, formerly a veteran educator and administrator, including for the Hutto Independent School District, and who holds a doctorate in education from the University of Texas at Austin, was the featured speaker at the Greater Taylor Chamber of Commerce’s monthly luncheon at the Taylor Mansion on July 17.
