Apprenticeship

A Lima Building Trades apprenticeship is an arrangement that combines classroom training with on-the-job training. All of our skilled trades offer apprenticeships so you can choose the field that interests you. You will be partnered with an experienced journeyman and will immediately begin to learn and work at your trade. Our classroom instruction is performed by skilled, qualified teachers who know the job and can give you the benefit of their experience. Through this combination of training, you will gain the skills and technical knowledge needed to succeed in your career.

Building Trades apprenticeships are funded entirely by the unions and their partner contractors. As a result, apprenticeships are tuition-free, so not only will you get paid while you’re training, you’ll graduate without student debt. You will also likely to be able to earn college credits for your apprenticeship which can be applied to either an Associate’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree.

Most apprentices graduate from the program with high-paying jobs, outstanding benefits, and a stable career that will give them satisfaction for a lifetime.
