Cargo Bike Frame Building Apprenticeship~Irina
Thank you for your interest in CAT's Framebuilding Apprenticeship.
Currently we are accepting applications for our next session (July - December 2012). We have two openings left. If you have been considering the program for a while, you will be interested to know that we recently revised our fee structure to be all-inclusive. The change to an all-inclusive system does not represent increased costs across the board, but rather offers an easier way for everyone to handle the existing costs. We made this change after discussions with previous participants who expressed a desire to see a simpler system that laid out all the costs out front. Here are some of the details. You can find more at http://hpm.catoregon.org/?page_id=329
Application/ processing fee: $25 (Non-refundable)
Fees for the Apprenticeship are $8960. There is a $1500 non-refundable deposit. Fees are all-inclusive and are broken down as follows:
Apprenticeship Tuition $6000
Rent (5 months at $300 per month)*
Apprentices live on site. $1500
Components for Long Haul** (priced 10% above
wholesale cost) $730
Long Haul rack or flatbed with aluminum
treadplate $180
Human Powered Network development fee***
$400
Required personal gear (welding helmet,
etc) $150
Total $8960
* There is also a $300 refundable deposit
** The component fees include a complete build
with the SRAM Dual Drive 3×9 hub and Avid bb7 mechanical disc brakes front and rear. We want each apprentice to build a Long Haul that is ready to ride at the end of the program and representative of Human Powered Machines product (a standard build).
*** The Human Powered Network Development fee
will be used to develop infrastructure and pursue grants for the Human Powered Network. This is a big job that requires the attention of a professional.
If you have further questions, I will be happy to discuss them with you. I am at CAT on Wednesday or Thursday afternoons, usually between 3 and 5 PM. If you want to make an appointment, please call 541-344-1197 anytime and leave a message for me. Thanks!
