Instructions and Information
This document was prepared to give you insight into the process and in no way implies any guarantees of selection or assignment to the apprenticeship program.
Complete the Application form in its entirety (front and back). The application must be filled out in person and must not be removed from the application site. If you need additional information or have difficulty understanding the questions, ask the application administrator to make a copy of the application. You may then remove the application copy and finish filling it out at home or with assistance. When you return to the application site, transfer the information
from the copy to the original application and return the original to the administrator. Make sure all required information is provided.
Complete the High School or Post High School Transcript Request form (you may photocopy and use this form for more than one school). Forward the form to your High School(s), Technical College(s), University, and other post-secondary school(s). It is your responsibility, not the schools’, to see that the transcripts are forwarded to the application site. If your transcripts list classes other than Algebra, but are of an equivalent, you must also provide a letter from the school stating the classes taken were an equivalent to Algebra. Copy of High School transcripts are required to qualify for an opportunity to interview. Continuing Education transcripts are recommended, as the Committee would like to assess your complete educational background, but they do not satisfy the original High School Transcript requirement.
Applicants must complete the National Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee’s Apprentice Selection Test Battery. (Developed and validated by the American Institutes for Research.) Arrangements for testing are made by the Committee. All Applicants, are required to complete this Aptitude Test to qualify for an interview.
Provide the application site with a copy of your Birth Certificate or Valid Driver’s License to verify your age. You may also provide the application site with any supporting documentation (e.g., letters of recommendation, resumes, certificates, special commendations, awards, etc.) that you think may be of interest. However this is not mandatory.
Upon completion of your file of required information, and after closing of the application period, your file will be reviewed for minimum qualifications. If you meet the minimum qualifications for an interview, you will be notified by registered mail when and where to report. If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you will be notified of your delinquencies and/or deficiencies.
If you are interviewed, the interview is completely subjective and you will be rated on many different observations. Your rating will be a primary qualifier for selection as an apprentice. Bear in mind, however, that the number of apprentices registered in a given session is directly dependent on the number needed to meet the workforce demands. If the work situation is temporarily constricted, then the number of apprentices assigned will also be constricted.
During this entire process, it is very important to keep the application site informed of any changes in address, changes in status, or change in interest.
