Apprenticeship
is a combination of on-the-job training and related
classroom instruction in which workers learn the
practical and theoretical aspects of a highly
skilled occupation. Apprenticeship programs are
operated on a voluntary basis by employers, employer
associations and labor organizations. The related
classroom instruction is given in the program
sponsor’s training facility or a local technical
school. College credit is earned through local
Community Colleges.
The
apprenticeship training period ranges from three to
six years. Apprentices are taught the proper use,
care and safe handling of the tools and equipment
used in connection with their work. To round out
their training, classroom work is required in
subjects to the trade.
Apprentices
earn while learning; the more they learn, the higher
the pay. Most apprentices are paid nearly 60% of a
journeyperson’s wage to start. As they climb the
ladder to the final qualifications, their wages are
increased at regular intervals. At the end of their
term of apprenticeship, they become a journeyperson
and draw full pay and benefits for their skill.
Men
and women 17 or 18 years old (depending on the
trade) are eligible to apply. Applicants must be
physically able to do work of the trade. Some trades
require an entry examination, a high school diploma
or General Education Development (GED) certificate.
Apprenticeship programs provide equal opportunity to
all persons, regardless of race, sex, national
origin, religion or age.
Our
Contractors spend more than $2,900,000 annually for
Training and Education.
