APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING  PROGRAM 

What is Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeship is learning a skilled trade through on-the-job training and related technical classes. Students are required to take a minimum of 144 hours of classroom instruction per year. Classes provide a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Bergen County Technical Schools offer approved programs. Apprenticeship training programs can be added with a minimum of 10 students. Customized apprenticeships in fields outside the scope of school programs can be arranged for individual students. Length of training varies from four to six years and is determined by the industry or union. The United States Department of Labor and the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development approve apprenticeship programs in New Jersey. 

How can I qualify?

You must be employed full-time in your chosen field of work and your employer or union must be willing to sponsor you. You may be eligible for advanced standing if you have on-the-job experience, vocational school training and/or military background. The Apprenticeship Coordinator will assist you with program placement and registration.

How can I become certified?

Certification is open to all registered apprentices who successfully complete on-the-job and related classroom training requirements. Individual course certificates must be saved to document the apprenticeship program hours you have completed. Apprenticeship Certificates are issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.

Classes are free to participants and times and locations vary as classes are held throughout the county. Students may attend two mornings, afternoons or evenings for a total of 4 to 6 hours per week, depending on the class.

The GED tests can be administered only to persons who are at least 16 years old, have not graduated from an accredited high school or received a high school equivalency certificate or diploma, and are not currently enrolled in a regular high school. Participants take a placement test and are placed in GED or Pre-GED level classes. All students study reading comprehension in the area of Social Studies, Literature and Science, as well as Mathematics and Writing. Anyone who adheres to the school attendance policy and makes progress is encouraged to remain in the GED Prep program until she/he obtains a diploma.

FREE English Literacy and Civics and ESL Classes
English Literacy and Civics and Part-Time ESL Classes enable participants to acquire improved language and citizenship skills and participate in post-secondary education, training, unsubsidized employment or career advancement.
