Registered Apprenticeships, Continuing Education Workforce Certificate
This program listing focuses on apprenticeships in building and construction trades. There are also non-traditional apprenticeships in industry sectors such as manufacturing and health care that are associated with other program listings. Each apprenticeship program varies in its course sequence, number of years, and number of training hours/year required for completion. Apprenticeship opportunities involve paid employment and structured education that will lead to higher salary, greater skill and the possibility of earning a degree. Apprentices apply through and are selected by the apprenticeship sponsor / committee. When apprentices are accepted into the program, they begin taking classes through CCBC and working full-time under the supervision of a trained journeyperson. It is not necessary to be employed when applying; many programs will dispatch apprentices to a participating employer once they are selected for admission.
