REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIPS

A registered apprenticeship is an industry driven, high-quality career pathway that helps employers develop and prepare their future workforce, and helps individuals obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable nationally recognized credential.

Since 1999, Vermont State University (formerly as Vermont Technical College) has partnered with the Vermont Department of Labor to manage the related instruction component of the Registered Electrical & Plumbing Apprenticeship programs. Through these programs, students meet the classroom requirement to sit for the Vermont State Journeyman Licensure Exam.

Apprentices also participate in OSHA 10 training once during their apprenticeship term at no cost to the apprentice.

Vermont State also offers Exam Prep and Code Update training throughout the year to support former apprentices and employer sponsors.

VTSU will work with apprentices, community members, employer sponsors, and the Vermont Department of Labor staff to ensure we continue to meet the needs of the trades.
