Apprenticeship Programs
In industries where local employers have a large demand for workers, apprenticeships can open an opportunity for students to "earn while you learn." Combining on-the-job experience with classroom instruction can prepare students for the workforce at an accelerated rate. Apprentices earn a guaranteed wage throughout their training, with incremental salary steps at various stages in the program.
For Construction and Technical apprenticeships, students attend class two nights a week during the fall and spring terms. The length of the programs vary from two to four years. Students are prepared to perform as tradesmen upon completion. Students receive assistance in finding employment with contractors. The program is sponsored by the Builders Association of North Central Florida (BANCF).
