Apprenticeship Programs Available at UCC

All apprenticeship programs at UCC are regulated by the State of Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, Apprenticeship Training Division (BOLI-ATD). Opportunities statewide and more information about apprenticeship can be obtained at the BOLI-ATD website www.oregon.gov/BOLI/ATD/.

Candidate selection varies by occupation. Normally, there are two ways to enter a program:

• Apply when the trade opens for application or
• Enter the program while employed by a company

State and federal laws determine entry requirements. General minimum requirements for entrance are:

• 18 years of age
• High school graduation preferred; GED accepted
• One year of high school math with a passing grade of C or better
• Acceptance after interview by the local Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC)

The apprenticeship program is two-fold. Apprentices gain experience while working in a chosen field and also attend classes. Local JATCs of both labor and management work with the college to implement the apprenticeship programs.

Upon being selected as an apprentice, a contractual agreement is secured with the JATC, the employer, and BOLI-ATD. The apprentice, as an employee, earns wages while receiving on-the-job-training (OJT) and related training in class. Every six months progress is reviewed and evaluated.

Related training at UCC is available for the trades of:

• Inside Electrician
• Mfg. Plant Electrician
• Limited Maintenance Electrician
• Industrial Maintenance Millwright
• Industrial Machinist

An apprentice may also earn a Certificate of Completion and an Associate of Applied Science degree by successfully completing the required credit hours with a grade of “C” or better in all courses.
