Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship training as a method of vocational education is recognized by the Apprenticeship and Training Division (ATD) of Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI). It combines full-time, on-the-job work experience with trade-related theoretical instruction.
The instruction at Chemeketa is for people working in selected trades. Students generally are apprentices who are registered with ATD. They can also be journey-level men and women who wish to upgrade their skills or knowledge and others approved by local committees.
Chemeketa offers apprenticeship classes for the following occupations: electricians, plumbers, heating ventilating air conditioning refrigeration (HVAC/R) technicians, and sheet metal workers.
If you are interested in becoming registered in an Oregon State Apprenticeship program please contact the Oregon State Bureau of Labor and Industries Apprenticeship Training Division at 971-673-0765 or www.boli.state.or.us for program and entrance requirements.
