Apprenticeship classes begin next week
Apprenticeship Bulletin 2010 |
Apprenticeship is a two-part
training program consisting of
classroom related instruction
and on-the-job training (OJT).
Apprenticeship related
instruction classes are
designed to complement OJT
provided by employers
participating in the Virginia
state registered apprenticeship
program.
We offer classes in building maintenance, carpentry, cosmetology, barbering, electricity, HVAC-R, opticianry, plumbing, and
surveying.
For other trades, we offer individualized study to meet the requirements for related instruction for state registered apprentices.

Greetings!
Slowly but surely we are beginning to see signs that the recession is waning. While this recovery is sure to be as different as the recession has been, you can still bet on the employment market remaining very competitive. This is why we pose the question, "Did you prepare?" Did you prepare yourself to remain competitive professionally?
If you are among the fortunate ones who kept their job, you should be looking over your shoulder. Some of the workers who have been displaced by the recession have used their time to update skills, add new credentials, or develop new professional networks.
Take a few moments and consider whether you are ready to compete for your next promotion. If additional training is what you need, the Apprenticeship program can certainly help!
Most classes are still accepting enrollees; however, late enrollment closes soon.

More college-educated jump tracks to become skilled manual laborers
By Carol Morello, Washington Post Staff Writer
A recent article in the Washington Post featured a man who chose an apprenticeship over the traditional college track.
"Armed with a bachelor's degree in theology from Notre Dame, Adam Osielski was pondering a route well traveled: law school. He watched his friends work long hours as paralegals while studying law and weighed the all-encompassing commitment. That was five years ago. Today, Osielski, 29, is a journeyman electrician rather than a law firm associate. Or, as Osielski might say with his minor in French, an electricien." Read the article. |
