ABOUT APPRENTICESHIP
Apprenticeships are employer-sponsored training programs. You must have a contract
before being invited to school. A special application process is used for these programs.
Please contact the Apprenticeship Office for the proper forms. Apprenticeship means you
earn while you learn. If you want a career in a skilled trade, apprenticeship is the best way
to get there. You’ll combine on-the-job training with on-campus learning—you’ll have the
best of both worlds when it comes to learning the skills you need to get ahead. And even
better, you’ll earn a paycheck while you learn those skills.
ABOUT THE CAREER
Broken or inefficient machines slow the pace of manufacturing and, ultimately, profits. The
Maintenance Mechanic/Millwright Apprenticeship program is employer sponsored. This
program combines the on-the-job hands-on training with related training at the technical
college. Some hands-on training is used to reinforce the related training. Thus, skills are
developed to help the mechanic keep machines and equipment operating and productive.
If you like to maintain, repair, and troubleshoot problems and put theory to work, a career
as a maintenance mechanic/millwright may be your ticket to success.
CAREERS
Graduates of LTC’s Maintenance Mechanic/Millwright Apprenticeship program work as
journey-level maintenance mechanics/millwrights in a variety of industrial and
organizational settings.
