Apprenticeships
Students at any Maricopa Community College may need to complete courses at more than one of our colleges.
An apprenticeship is a system for training a new generation of practitioners of a trade or profession with on-the-job training and often some accompanying study. Apprenticeships can also enable practitioners to gain a license to practice in a regulated profession. Upon completion of classroom training, apprentices will be placed with local employers and assigned an on-the-job mentor to hone and perfect their new skills. Below are Apprenticeships offered:
Information Technology
Construction
- Carpentry
- Electrician
- Heat and Frost Insulation
- Ironworking

- Painting and Drywalling
Employers
If you are an employer, benefits of participating in an apprenticeship program include:
- Timely training in specific knowledge that your company needs
- Reduced turnover - more than 90% of apprentices stay with their employer beyond their apprenticeship experience
- Lowers your cost for recruitment and training
- Results in higher productivity
- Develops highly skilled employees - your company provides guidance and mentors so apprentices learn exactly how you want the job done
