The Crafts Apprenticeship Program was established for employees who are seeking to improve their skills and/or seeking advancement and/or promotional opportunities. The four-year training program provides on-the-job training and relevant education in a craft area. Each apprentice is assigned to work with a mentor or a series of mentors for a period not to exceed six consecutive months. At the end of the six months the apprentice is evaluated, and then re-assigned to a new mentor for the next six-month period. This cycle is repeated until the end of the third year. At the beginning of the fourth year, the apprentice will be assigned to the college site where he/she will be employed. The educational portion of the program includes college coursework as well as on-the-job training for the craft area.

Candidate must have worked with the District for two consecutive years as of January 1 of the year their Apprenticeship training begins.

Candidate must be a minimum of 18 years of age.

Candidate must have a high school diploma or its equivalent GED.

Candidate must be physically capable of performing the essential functions of the trade or craft to be learned.

Available positions are based upon yearly budget allocations and District workforce needs as requested by the colleges for future craft positions needed. The Crafts Apprenticeship Program Committee will send out announcements of apprenticeship positions as the need arises.
