The Maine Pre-Apprenticeship Program

Pre-Apprenticeship is one to two years of customized high school academics coupled with 1,000 hours of on-the-job training during the 11th and/or 12th grades. Upon graduating, culmination is permanent employment and matriculation into the Maine Apprenticeship Program with the possibility of progressing through an Associates Degree program or the Associates Degree in Applied Science in a Trade or Technical Occupation program (TTO degree).

Program Steps: The student enters the Maine Pre-Apprenticeship Program as a high school junior and works for the employer part time during his/her junior and senior school years and either part or full-time during the summer. When the pre-apprentice graduates from school, he/she also completes the Pre-Apprenticeship Program.  The student receives a Certificate of Completion of Pre-Apprenticeship from the Maine Apprenticeship Committee, and can then choose to enter the Maine Apprenticeship Program.  If he/she does enter the Maine Apprenticeship Program, then his/her on-the-job training time in the pre-apprenticeship program will count towards the Maine Apprenticeship Program.
