Net Hanger Apprentice
Full Time - Apprenticeship
Are you a dependable, hard working individual that likes to work with your hands and takes pride in your work? You may be a good fit for our net hanging apprenticeship!
Our apprenticeship has a short term introductory training period in the fall, followed by a full time seasonal commitment the following year from January or February through mid June or until we run out of work. This could possibly extend into the beginning of September if desired. Our season is highly dependent on variability in the commercial fishing industry.
We need a minimum commitment from February first until mid-June. This makes it a great opportunity for a seasonal job before seining (A type of commercial fishing based out of Cordova.), or other summer jobs!
An initial introductory training the previous fall is recommended, net hanging is not for everyone and its best for both of us if you can give it a try before committing to an entire season.

Building Cork Lines - Using twine to tie down corks on the cork line and attaching the weed line.

Pay starts at minimum wage and increases with productivity. Motivated, efficient hangers are expected to make around $15/hr after bonuses their first year, and $18 to $25/hr (paid by piecework) after bonuses their second year.
