Apprenticeship Training
Apprenticeship Training
On-the-job training is conducted under the immediate direction of supervisors who are qualified journeymen and division training supervisors.
Training Supervisors in each division administer monthly written and performance tests. Written tests require a passing grade of 70%. Our program not only prepares highly-skilled craftsmen, it helps them understand the “why” of their work. Benefits include raises, promotions and VA benefits (if applicable).
