Apprenticeships go through State Registered Committees.  Our office works with several committees to provide training for the following trades:

It depends on the trade you apply for:

• Electrical - yes.
• Mechanical - no.

“Applied” means several things in apprenticeship.

1. Applying for an apprenticeship through the Low-Voltage Electrical and Pipefitter committees.
   1. When you apply to an apprenticeship, there is a process to start working:
      1. Your application is scored at the beginning of the following month
      2. You are placed on a ranked pool hiring list where applicants are referred out from the top down
      3. Once you reach the top, you will be referred to an employer as inquiries are received in our office
      4. You may be asked to meet with the registered training agent to explain the position
      5. Once both parties accept the offer, a registered agreement will be completed, signed, and submitted to the State of Oregon
      6. Classes start the following term, unless designated otherwise by the Administrator of the program
2. Applying to LBCC for Admissions
   1. Applying to LBCC is not applying to Apprenticeship; those are separate processes and do not integrate. You must apply to a specific committee application in order to be considered for an apprenticeship - See above

Depending on the trade, you may travel from job site to job site.

You can be 17 to apply and 18 to start.

• First, you must know what Trade (type of job) you want to pursue. You can research those at Oregon Apprenticeship.
• Second, you must meet the minimum requirements for that specific apprenticeship.
  • The requirements are not the same for every trade.
• Third, you must apply to the specific committee’s hiring list for the trade(s) you are interested in.
  • Each committee has a different process for hiring apprentices
