Apprenticeship Info
What is an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship is an effective combination of structured on-the-job training and related technical instruction at no cost to the employer. This nationally recognized, post-secondary training is competency based and/or time-based. Any employer can sponsor employees who work on a full time basis. Apprenticeship Training Programs range from one to four years in duration, depending upon occupation and job title.
Apprentices that are working receive a minimum of 2000 hours per year of on-the-job training by the sponsor. You will not be registered with the state until you complete the apprenticeship application Hunterdon County Polytech. Apprentices attend related instruction classes two evenings per week from September through April until required instructional hours are met. Apprenticeable classifications include Electrical, Plumbing, and Roofing. For more information about apprenticeship please call Continuing Education office at 908-788-1119 ext. 2007.
Who can become an apprentice?
Men and women, ages 16 and older, can be eligible for an apprenticeship if they meet the minimum educational and employment requirements of the sponsor/employer and are physically capable of performing all the tasks involved in the trade.
