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—to put it
simply—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.
