THE PROCESS
Apprenticeship 2000 Application Process:
There are four stages to Apprenticeship 2000’s application process.
- Partner companies may visit some local high schools, usually during the month of November.
- High school juniors and seniors may register.
- You must be a junior or senior in January of the following year, this is when we’ll have an open house.
- Additionally, we may work with your guidance counselor to determine if you meet the grade, attendance and other criteria requirements.
- Parents should encourage their children to register themselves if they are interested.
- Students may register by simply completing an online”Get Started” form.
- Our registration period runs to the end of each year.
- Those who register by year’s end and meet the qualifications, will be invited to an open house along with their parents.
- During the open house, we will have an overview presentation of Apprenticeship 2000.
- Following the presentation, there will be a question and answer session.
- Then, students can decide if they would like to participate in an orientation.
- Orientations are for students only.
- After attending the open house, each student will be assigned to an orientation session.
- Orientation will last four evenings during one week at a partner company (about 4 hours each day).
- Orientations consist of hands-on activities and written tests.
- During this time, partner companies determine if you are a good candidate for an apprenticeship.
- You determine if our apprenticeship is right for you!
- Apprenticeship 2000 offers our six-week summer trial period to motivated top performers from the orientation.
- This is essentially a six-week job-interview at a partner company.
- And, it is a hands-on, in depth trial period.
- A trainer will evaluate each student’s mechanical aptitude.
- Each week will be a paid 40 hour work week, including CPCC school day(s).
- Afterwards, Apprenticeship 2000 offers the top performers an apprenticeship opportunity.
