In-person
This program listing focuses on registered apprenticeships in building and construction trades, often referred to as traditional apprenticeships. (Note: there are also non-traditional apprenticeships in industry sectors such as manufacturing and health care that are associated with other program listings.) Apprentices in this program listing gain an opportunity to work in well-paying jobs, such as sheet metal worker, operating engineer, electrician, plumber and steamfitter, carpenter, and other skilled construction trade occupations.Work full-time as an apprentice and take a structured series of courses that includes content that supports the tasks you perform at work. Each apprenticeship offers a specialized program that will take from three to five years to complete and leads to a Journeyperson certificate. Apprenticeship opportunities involve paid employment and structured education that will lead to higher salary, greater skill, and the possibility of earning a degree through prior learning assessment/articulation. 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; sponsors will dispatch apprentices to a participating employer once they are selected for admission and begin their apprenticeship. Students entering this program should have a strong sense of self-discipline; good math skills; reading and spatial relations skills; enjoy variety; and like to use their hands and mind.
