Limited Maintenance Electrician Apprenticeship Technologies, Certificate
Program Description
Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries – Apprenticeship Training Division (BOLI-ATD) and local Trade Apprenticeship Training Committee (TATC) trade-specific standards of apprenticeship control the training. This program is restricted to BOLI-ATD registered apprentices. Therefore, this is a closed enrollment program and not available to the general student population.
Apprenticeship training is an earn-while-you-learn program. The apprentice is an employee and earns a wage while receiving on-the-job training and attending related training classes. An approved training agent selects apprentices through a competitive bid process from current employees. The apprentice connects to the JATC after selection through the indenture (registration) process. Local JATCs representing labor and management work with the College to implement the apprenticeship programs. Every six months the TATC reviews and evaluates each apprentice’s progress.
The apprenticeship model provides statewide transfer opportunities, ladder-type Certificates of Completion, Associate of Applied Science degrees and an optional transfer path into a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Technology and Management at Oregon Institute of Technology.
The BOLI-ATD website oregon.gov/boli/atd provides more information about apprenticeship and statewide opportunities.
Umpqua Community College offers one 4,000-hour BOLI-ATD registered apprenticeships in partnership with Roseburg Industrial Electrical JATC and BOLI-ATD.
