How the process works:
|
Applications may be mailed to you by calling our office and are available on-line.
After the application is received, the applicant will be given a letter to take the required accuplacer test at MATC. Upon receiving a passing score, the applicant will be scheduled for an interview at the next available Joint Apprenticeship Committee meeting. The applicant will be notified by mail of the interview date and time.
All test scores and interviews scores will be used to determine where an applicant is to be placed on the ranking list, from which apprentices are drawn.
When a contractor requests an apprentice, and all apprentices already in the program are working, we will accept applicants into the program from the top of the ranking list. There is no way to predict when that will occur since the demand for help depends on market forces that cannot be foreseen.
