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
Maintenance Technicians work in industrial manufacturing and safely perform mechanical
and electrical duties to keep machines, equipment, or the structure of a facility in repair.
The Maintenance Technician 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 technician 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 technician may be your ticket to success.
