Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a program coordinated between labor, industry, and education
to prepare individuals for a specific trade/craft or occupation. Apprenticeship is a
proven method of training skilled workers through formalized on-the-job training
and related instruction programs (theory). In the United States, there are approximately 950 occupations which are acquired through apprenticeship. Apprentices
are registered by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT), United States
Department of Labor and the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce
Development. Basic Standards of an Apprenticeship Program:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Proper supervision of training and adequate training facilities
An approved ratio of apprentices to skilled workers
A progressive wage schedule
A schedule of work processes
Provision for related instruction
Non-discrimination in all phases of employment and training
Apprenticeship students must maintain 2000 hours of on-the-job training per year
and attend 144 hours of related instruction per year. Arrangements for related
instruction may be made by sending your registration to the main office. Applicants must be employed as an apprentice in an approved training program. Proof
of apprenticeship must be presented. If you wish to take these classes while you
are not working in the field, you may do so. However, you will not get hands
on training, nor a USDOL apprenticeship certificate.
