Apprenticeship Training (APRN Courses)
The primary objective of the apprenticeship program is to train workers in skilled occupations to meet the needs of the industry. Classes are taught offsite and certificates are given by the individual trades.
The program is open to all individuals 18 years of age or older without regard to race, color, religion, national origin or sex.
Applications or information concerning applications may be obtained from the industrial technology department.
The training received by an apprentice is in the classroom and at the worksite. Therefore, enrollment in all courses listed under apprenticeship training is limited to state registered apprentices and qualified applicants.
