Manufacturing Applied Technologies Pre-Apprenticeship

Learn Foundational Trade Skills

Our Registered Manufacturing Pre-Apprenticeship Program is designed for high school juniors or seniors considering an apprenticeship after graduation. This program provides an opportunity to explore high-demand STEM careers and learn foundational trade skills before graduation. 

It includes hands-on sessions and an optional online credential program. Participants will receive a state-certified pre-apprentice certificate and Federal OSHA 10 certification upon completion. Then graduates will be ready to explore apprenticeships, jobs, and continuing education at colleges and technical schools.

The Pre-Apprenticeship Program offers multiple advantages: 

• The Association handles all the program paperwork and acts as your sponsor for easy enrollment. 
• Courses are employer-led, meaning the pre-apprentice curriculum is designed by regional businesses, and are taught by highly-skilled journeymen instructors. 
• Participants can also earn college credits toward an Associate’s Degree. 
• While primarily focused on apprentices, the programs are also open to the public.

We are committed to:

Developing skills and training for high school juniors and seniors

Providing instructional, technical, and basic skill training for apprentices

Delivering advanced skills and training far beyond on-the-job training
