Apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training (OJT) and related classroom instruction under the supervision of a journey-level craft person or trade professional in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. After completing an apprenticeship program, the worker's journey-level status provides an additional benefit of nationwide mobility at journey level scale.A journey-level worker is an individual who has sufficient skills and knowledge of a trade, craft, or occupation, either through formal apprenticeship training or through practical on-the-job work experience, to be recognized by a state or federal registration agency and/or an industry as being fully qualified to perform the work of the trade, craft, or occupation. Practical experience must be equal to or greater than the term of apprenticeship.The Multi-Occupations AAS recognizes the stringent requirements, on-the-job training and related classroom instruction of each individual trades. A minimum of 6,000 clock hours of OJT and 450 hours of related classroom instruction along with an additional 30 program credits will meet the requirements of the AAS degree.The AAS is only open to apprentices enrolled in a local JATC approved apprenticeship training program or journey-level workers which have completed an approved apprenticeship training program. Verification of completion of an apprenticeship program by the JATC is required before submission of the petition for graduation. The combined total of 30 program credits, 6000 OJT hours and 450 hours of related supplemental instruction will meet the requirement of AAS degree candidates.Students who complete the Multi-Occupation AAS degree are eligible to apply for acceptance to four year universities. Prior to taking courses in this program, students who intend to further their education at a university should consult an academic advisor at SCC or the transferring university.
