What's Apprenticeship?
How Can I Become An Apprentice?
Each of the types of machining jobs share common skills and knowledge. Each also has other skills and knowledge which are specific to that particular work area. Because of the differences, each job is associated with a different apprenticeship program. Our Machine Tool Technology program will provide participants with training to meet the basic requirements for becoming an apprentice in any of these and other areas in the machining industry. However, the following requirements are customary for individuals applying to be accepted into our training program and to be accepted into any apprenticeship program certified by the U.S. Department of Labor:
