Major Findings and Conclusions of the Program Review:
In summary, the various Apprenticeship programs offered through the trade unions are dedicated to maintaining a trained,
quality workforce in many disciplines. High levels of training, technology application and methods are taught by
experienced personnel and instructors for specific trades. In addition, continuing education needs are met through
additional training opportunities for workers that need to upgrade or improve their skills with newer technologies and
methods as well. The Apprenticeship programs address a workforce need, specifically with respect to the many demands
within the construction and related industries.
The individual skilled workforce training curriculum, development and training strategy is based upon national studies
and needs of the programs within each discipline. Oversight of the Apprenticeship program is shared among the State of
Nevada through the Apprenticeship Council and the Department of Labor/Office of the Labor Commissioner.
All the various disciplines anticipate continued workforce demand growth with the recovering economy in Northern
Nevada, both for the short term and long term. This demand as always will be economy related and cyclical.
Self-Study Summary
Development of a new type of skill certificate should be pursued to take advantage of the high retention and program
completion rates of the Apprenticeship program participants. Presently the degree and certificate options available are not
generally advantageous for a program completer since they receive a promotion or advance upward within the skilled
workforce immediately upon completion. There are approximately 30 different credit programs for various skill sets
offered by the trade unions with resulting journeyman status level training. All of these trained and in some cases
certified workers become an invaluable member of the local skilled workforce.
An update to the teaching re-imbursement per credit amount should be made since no adjustments have been made in a
number of years. The unions have absorbed the increased costs of instruction and an adjustment is needed to the present
structure that is outdated.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM/UNIT
The TMCC –Building Trades Apprenticeship program provides training in skilled workforce areas that constantly
require changes as the knowledge and technology job related skills are modified. The various apprenticeship
programs are influenced by local, regional and national code provisions along with specific municipal and industry
license requirements.
The local and national area trade unions provide a professional educational and on the job training opportunity,
leading to achievement as an apprentice for student participants. TMCC provides additional opportunities for
apprenticeship students to enhance their knowledge through certificates and degrees in association with the union
training programs. The current Apprenticeship program is managed within TMCC by the Applied Industrial
Technology Division.
Only indentured apprenticeship students, sponsored by local union apprenticeship programs and approved by the
Nevada State Apprenticeship Council are permitted to enroll and participate in the emphasis area course and
curriculum. The apprenticeship program courses have been designed to provide participants with basic technical trade
knowledge and manual skills required for their type of employment. Courses include subjects such as trade and
industry law, job safety, job skill practices, tool and equipment operation and applied math applications. Participants
can typically complete their emphasis area of study and on-the-job training requirements within three to five years,
leading to journeyman status.
Most apprenticeship participants complete thirty credit hours of technical courses within their three to five year time
enrollment and are only permitted to enroll in ten credit hours annually. Once the participants complete ten credits
per year, they meet the annual requirements for 144 hours of classroom training.
Participants are required by the indentured apprenticeship programs to complete six core credit hours of on-the-job
training and work experience, usually through internship training with employers. In addition, participants are
required to complete at least three credit hours of technical core courses related to plan reading and drawing
interpretation.
Currently, the completion of an Associate of Applied Science Degree requires completion of 21 credit hours of
General Education courses, 10 credit hours of Core Emphasis courses that are combined with the approved Elective
Apprenticeship courses for the degree minimum of 60 credits.
In comparison, the Certificate of Achievement requires completion of 9 credit hours of General Education courses, 10
credit hours of Core Emphasis courses combined with 11 credit hours of approved Elective Apprenticeship courses
for the certificate minimum of 30 credits.
Currently the following Northern Nevada Apprenticeship programs participate with TMCC for the Certificate of
Achievement and Associate of Applied Science Degree as delineated in the Memorandum of Understanding between
TMCC and the individual Apprenticeship Training Programs. The programs are:

Primary Goals and Objectives
The primary goal of the Apprenticeship Program is to train and educate program participants with the skills necessary
to advance their careers within construction related industries. The program provides and utilizes various hands-on
training methods in the classroom and includes on the job training as well. The specific programs are constantly
updating the technical and educational subject focus brought about by newer technologies and evolving skills required
by the workplace.
Factors Expected to Affect Future
Program enrollment and retention is directly related to the local and state economy, specifically the building and
construction industry. Apprenticeship participants must meet basic requirements for participation and be selected for
acceptance into their respective program prior to enrollment at TMCC. Once enrolled, participants are then given on
the-job training assignments and are required to attend technical related courses. Participants must meet and maintain
stringent program requirements in order to remain part of a training program.
On-the-job training assignments are with employers within the industry, providing participants a very real world
application of learned skills associated with a selected trade. This type of training is overseen by journeyman level
workers and supervisors while the participant is compensated with a wage and benefit package.
Related core and technical classroom training take place on TMCC’s campus or facilities developed and dedicated
specifically by each Apprenticeship program.

Description of Program/Unit | Truckee Meadows Community College
A certificate or degree by participants in the Apprenticeship Program is not a primary goal. Completion of the
Apprenticeship program remains the primary focus which provides the participant with the necessary certifications
and required licenses to be classified as a “Journeyman” within a particular trade union or industry. Some program
participants continue to pursue a certificate or degree in order to advance professionally within their respective
industry niche.

APPENDIX A
Dean’s Analysis of Funding Resources
Funding resources for apprenticeship programs are directly tied to enrollment levels. Since all apprenticeship
instruction is conducted at facilities operated by each individual program and instructors are paid directly by the
programs, the college does not have fixed costs associated with the program. To help offset the cost of instruction
which generates student credit and FTE, the college reimburses each program an amount that is equal to the
registration fees plus $10 per student/credit.
Apprenticeship coordinators have expressed concern that CSN and WNC are more generous in their
reimbursement arrangements. They have considered severing their agreement with TMCC to pursue one with one
of the other colleges. With construction about the dramatically increase throughout the region, this could cost the
college significant FTE and the attendant WSCH. At its peak in 2004-06, apprenticeship generated nearly 200
FTE. There is no reason to believe we will not reach or exceed that level within the next three to five years. Loss
of agreements with apprenticeship programs would have significant budget impacts for the college, especially
with such a small fiscal commitment. Doubling the $10 student/credit reimbursement is advisable.

DEFINITIONS:
Full-time to Part-time Instructional Faculty Workload: The relative percentage of faculty
FTE comprised of full-time vs part-time teachers. NOTE: this is not the percent of either credit
hours or student credit hours taught by FT vs PT faculty. It simply represents the makeup of the
contractual workload FTE for full-time and part-time employees (data provided by HR).
NOTE: This section of the Program Review Data Packet is typically made up of information
regarding full-time and part-time faculty. Since the Apprenticeship program does not employ
teachers in the traditional sense, some of the pages and data from this section relating to
faculty workload will be omitted.
