Apprenticeship is one of the best ways for a worker to acquire the experience and training needed to get established in a career. Columbia Basin College, in conjunction with labor unions, offers eight registered apprenticeship programs. Upon completion of a prescribed program of technical classes and on-the-job training, the worker receives a completion certificate and is recognized as a Journeyman nationwide. Apprentices pay substantially reduced tuition to the College. Persons interested in a specific apprenticeship program are encouraged to contact the individuals or unions listed below.
