Internships in the Trades

Harbor Freight Fellows
The Harbor Freight Fellows Initiative is available to students enrolled in their senior year of high school and are interested in a career in the homebuilding and construction trades. We support apprenticing experiences with professional trades persons at their businesses. For all successful properly documented completers, we will provide a $1k scholarship to the youth for 120 hours of apprenticing with a trades person mentor.

2019 Interns On-site


What's so great about internships?

Work-based learning experiences are one of the best ways for young adults to become familiar with the skilled trades.

What could be better than getting hands-on experience doing the work you hear about from classroom speakers, or see on Dirty Jobs, or that your own parents are doing for work every day?

If you're a Sacramento area employer, high school junior, or graduating senior interested in an internship in the trades contact us!

2019 Graduating Senior Hiring Event
