APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING
Students must be employed and sponsored by their employer and a training agreement must be set up between the employer, the employee, and the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training. MCC coordinates the training plan and provides related instruction.  Each 16-week semester usually includes one to three courses of apprenticeship-related instruction.  A competency examination or official transcripts may result in a waiver of a required course.   The employer establishes entrance requirements that are in accordance with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training standards.  Continuation in the job training certificate depends on employment status and achievement levels.  The sample schedule of related instruction below is for apprentice tool-and-die makers.  The actual requirements may vary with the training agreement. Instruction for machinists, electricians, plastic mold designers, mold-and-die makers and welders are also available.   
Some prerequisite courses may apply to this program.
