Requirements
- Applicant must be at least 17 years old
- Applicant can complete the application on the Apply now tab.
As of 3/28/22 we are no longer testing apprentices for advanced placement into our program. It will be at your discretion as to what level you would like to bring an apprentice in based upon their prior knowledge and skill set. Please be advised that per D.O.L. guidelines, an apprentice must attend at least one half of the total duration of the program. That being said, we cannot accept an apprentice above 5th term (80%). If you feel an applicant is more qualified than this, you may pay them above the 5th term scale, however they would still be a 5th term apprentice in our program. As always, you may elect to skip the apprenticeship program altogether and bring an applicant in as a journeyperson if you feel that they meet the qualifications to excel at this level.
If an apprentice is brought in at a beginning level; shows adequate knowledge and aptitude, performs at a level that you deem exceeds their initial placement; you may contact us and submit a new letter of intent to progress that apprentice’s current term up to, and including 5th term (80%) . This process must be made prior to the apprentice in question’s first full payroll cycle.
The original level may be adjusted up to 5th period (80%), if after working a few days, and before their first payroll check is issued, you (the contractor) determine a higher level is warranted.
