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
Tool and die makers are vital to the metal-working industry because they produce the
tools, dies, and special grinding and holding devices used in mass production. The Tool
and Die Apprenticeship program is an employer-sponsored, hands-on training program. If
you like working with mechanical technology/ manufacturing processes and you value
and can work with exacting precision, your talents fit perfectly with a career as a
journeylevel tool and die maker.
CAREERS
Graduates of LTC’s Tool and Die Apprenticeship program work as journey-level tool and
die makers in a variety of manufacturing/industrial settings.
