Apprenticeship Programs
Registered apprenticeship programs are designed to prepare workers for occupations that require a wide range of skills and knowledge. This preparation consists of on-the-job training and technical classroom instruction.
In apprenticeship programs the concept is to “earn as you learn.” An apprentice will generally work full-time and go to school approximately 144 hours per year on a schedule predetermined by the respective craft. Apprenticeship program training is free and generally takes between 3-5 years to complete, depending on the craft. An apprentice starts at approximately half a journeyperson’s wages and will typically receive a wage increase every six months. Upon completion of the program, the apprentice will receive a journeyperson’s wages and complete fringe benefits.
More than 10 construction craft apprenticeship programs are housed at our training center in North Kansas City. Click on the links below for a description of each trade, basic qualifications, and how to apply.
