Apprenticeships

Each apprenticeship has two components, On-the-Job Learning and Related Technical Instruction. Both are vital elements to a well-rounded apprenticeship. Throughout the program, each student is paired with a mentor. A mentor is an experienced worker who guides and supports someone who is learning a job. They help answer questions, teach skills and provide support as the person gains experience. 

On-the-Job Learning (OJL)

On-the-Job Learning (OJL) is the structured, paid work experience portion of a registered apprenticeship program where apprentices learn by performing job duties under supervision in a real workplace.

Related Technical Instruction (RTI)

Related Technical Instruction (RTI) is the classroom portion of an apprenticeship that teaches the knowledge and skills needed to perform the job.

Equal Employment Opportunities Pledge

CMU Tech will not discriminate against registered apprenticeship applicants or apprentices based on race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), gender expression, childbirth and related conditions, sexual orientation, genetic information or because they are an individual with a disability or a person 40 years old or older.

Your Right to Equal Opportunity

It is against the law for a sponsor of an apprenticeship program registered for Federal and State purposes to discriminate against an apprenticeship applicant or apprentice based on disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, age, national origin or ancestry, or, in certain circumstances, marriage to a coworker, or a person 40 years old or older.

The sponsor must ensure equal opportunity with regard to all terms, conditions and privileges associated with apprenticeship.
