Apprenticeship
www.linnbenton.edu/apprenticeship
The Apprenticeship program provides courses in accordance with the Apprenticeship and Training Laws for the State of Oregon. These courses present technical instruction for the trades and are intended to complement on-the-job skills for both men and women. Each apprenticeable trade has a Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC) or a Trades Apprenticeship Training Committee (TATC) which outlines the procedures to become a journey person. This outline usually consists of two to five years of supervised on-the-job experience in various aspects of the trade in conjunction with LBCC coursework. The JATC/TATC committees outline the type of supportive courses needed to prepare students to become qualified journey persons in addition to working with related training courses.
Students wanting to move into management, supervision, or small business management can transfer to Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) with related-training credits toward a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Operations Management after earning the Apprenticeship AAS degree.
