Program Description
Apprenticeship is a method of training individuals, in a trade, using a combination of on-the-job skills development and classroom/lab related instruction. Atlantic Technical College serves as the Apprenticeship Local Educational Agency (LEA) for Broward County Public Schools and coordinates the largest number of apprenticeship training programs in Florida, operating in accordance with federal and state laws and rules.
Apprenticeship training offers the individual a chance to “earn while you learn.” In addition to a paid 40-hour on-the-job training work week under the supervision of a journeyperson, apprentices are required to attend related training on selected evenings and/or weekends. Wages increase as the apprentice raises their skill level through training and work experience. Apprenticeship training programs vary in length, depending on the trade and can take from two to five years to complete. There are both union and non-union programs.
