Enrollment in an apprentice class does not automatically grant a student-registered apprentice

What is an Apprenticeship Program?
An apprenticeship program is a voluntary arrangement between an employer (sponsor)
and employee (apprentice). As a part of this
agreement, the employer agrees to provide
the apprentice with on-the-job-training (work
processes), and the apprentice agrees to attend a related-instruction class for a specifiedtime frame. Ocean County Vocational Technical
School will provide the related and technical
training through Adult Education coursework.
The apprentice, as well as his/her employer, will
be registered with the United States Department
of Labor when an agreement is signed.
How do you become a registered apprentice?
To become a registered apprentice, you must be
working in the field of your choice with an employer willing to sponsor you. It is important to
have a sincere desire to learn a trade. Contact
our Apprenticeship Coordinator as soon as you
decide to become a registered apprentice.
What else should the apprentice know?
1. Apprenticeships vary from one to four years
in length.
2. 2000 hours per year of on-the-job-training are
required for each year of the apprenticeship.
3. 144 hours per year in the related-instruction
program are required.
Why complete an apprenticeship?
Upon completion of an apprenticeship, participants will receive a completion certificate from
the US Department of Labor. Employers honor
this certificate nationwide.
The Apprenticeship Coordinator
The Adult Education Division currently provides an Apprenticeship Coordinator who is
available to register persons who have their
employer’s support as apprentices. The coordinator can help you plan your training at Ocean
County Vocational Technical School. Please

Department of Labor identifies over 800 occupations as apprenticeable. Employers who wish
to start apprentice programs for their employees
can also receive assistance in developing an apprenticeship training program.
