General
Information:
 |
Apprenticeship programs are
composed of two
parts:
- On-the-job
training--provided
by a sponsor (employer) where the apprentice is trained to apply what
is learned in class.
- Classroom
instruction--designed to provide job-related theory and
technical knowledge.
|
| On-the-job Training: |
MATC does not provide
on-the-job training.
Students must locate their own sponsors. The Apprenticeship
Department is not given job listings so we recommend the following
avenues for seeking employment opportunities:
-
Department of Workforce Services (DWS). Look on-line for
locations
-
On-line yellow pages and other searches

| Classroom Instruction: |
MATC
provides classroom and lab-related instruction for apprenticeship
programs. Apprenticeship classes are held two nights a week, generally
around 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm.
They are
available in Fall and Spring
terms. A classes are usually* held in
Fall term
(September through
December) and B classes are held in Spring term
(January
through
April). A and B
classes are
successive and not interchangeable.
* Offset
classes are held for Electrical students if
there is interest and enough enrollment. These classes include
the
A
and B class instruction and go from January
through June. |
| Length
of Program: |
Completion
of an apprenticeship program will take up to four years. |
| Certificates and Licensure: |
Upon
completion of the MATC Related Instruction course, the
apprentice will
receive an MATC Recognition of Training.
Upon
completion of the MATC Related Instruction course and the completion of
the required 8000 on-the-job training, the student is qualified to take
the State Journeyman Exam. |
| Students Commitment: |
The
student must be committed to attend all class sessions, complete
all homework assignments, complete all quizzes, and pass a
comprehensive final examination for each class.
|
| Attendance Policy: |
An
apprentice must attend 72 hours of the possible 81 hours each
semester. This 90% attendance standard has been
established by the
Office of Apprenticeship, Industry Employers, and Labor Services. Any
absences beyond this point will result in an incomplete (I) grade. The
student will then be required to take the course again at his / her own
expense.
A
maximum of two (2) work-related absences (nine hours)
per semester will be excused. The only excused absences
are
work-related absences. The student must submit a letter on company
letterhead signed by his / her immediate supervisor. The letter must be
presented to the instructor before the end of the week that class was
missed. |
| Exams: |
A
final examination will be given at the end of the course.
This will
cover all the material taught in the course and may include material
covered in previous courses. All tests, quizzes, assignments and lab
projects must be turned in to the Instructor before taking the final
exam.
A
competency test will be given at the end of each
semester. This test will be separate from the final exam and grade, but
completion of this test with a passing score will be required to move
on to the next semester. The competency test may be taken twice,
only.
If the student also fails
the
re-take he / she will be required to repeat the appropriate semester. |
