Trade Apprenticeship Training Committee
Welcome Employers and Apprentices!
Companies and employees in industrial fields such as manufacturing and electrical maintenance will find that registered apprenticeship is an ideal training program to provide workers with advanced skill sets that meet specific needs of employers.
Registered apprenticeship is a program in which individuals learn a trade through work experience and education. Our apprenticeship programs combine structured on-the-job training with job related college credit courses. Apprentices earn a living wage and develop their skills within a trade with the goal of earning journey-worker status, while the employer provides the on-the-job training. Our committee supports two apprenticeship programs, Machinist and Limited Maintenance Electrician.
