Springfield Armory National Historic Site is pleased to be hosting two five-month, paid, Historic Preservation trainees this summer through the National Park Service Historic Preservation Training Center Traditional Trades Apprenticeship Program (TTAP) One intern will work in the field of cultural landscape maintenance and the other will focus on HVAC systems within historic structures. The initiative is made possible through national, state, and local partners working together to provide immersive preservation maintenance experiences and apprentice-style skills training in the traditional trades professions. We are working with Preservation Mass and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission to develop a community-based program that provides support, mentorship, and resources to further our collective preservation goals and develop the skills of next gen historic preservationists.
We're seeking local candidates who have graduated high school and are pursuing careers in the trades. Eligible candidates must be 18-30 years old (inclusive), veterans may be up to 35 years of age. Position announcements and details are located here: Historical Preservation Intern, Historical Preservation Intern (HVAC).
