What is an apprenticeship?

Applicants must furnish proof of high school graduation, proof of a passing score on a high school equivalency test, or currently be enrolled in high school apprenticeship programs (STA). |

What can I expect while I'm in the apprenticeship program?
The Dixie State College Electrician Apprenticeship Program can be completed in four years. During these four years, students will earn 8,000 hours of on-the-job training, receive 576 hours of in-class instruction, and be registered with the State Office of Occupational and Professional Licensing. All apprenticeship courses are offered in the evening, which makes this program compatible with a full-time work schedule. While in the program, the apprentice's pay will equal a percentage of the journeyman wage rate. For beginning apprentices, wages will equal 50% of the journeyman wage.
