Manufacturers Apprenticeship Program: Spring Incentives To Enroll Your Employee(s)

To encourage participation and spread the word about apprenticeship opportunities The Council of Industry will waive all registration fees for our Introductory Trade, Industrial Manufacturing Technician to companies who commit before 4/16.

The Manufacturers Intermediary Apprenticeship Program (MIAP) is a New York State Department of Labor approved manufacturing apprentice program. To encourage participation and spread the word about apprenticeship opportunities the Council will waive all registration fees for the introductory trade, Industrial Manufacturing Technician to companies who commit before 4/16.

In this episode Harold King and Johnnieanne Hansen discuss how the MIAP apprentice program works, why it works, and how you can enroll your employees. Apprenticeship consists of two stages: On-the-Job Training (OJT) and Related Instruction (RI). OJT allows an apprentice to learn firsthand from a skilled craftsperson who will demonstrate and share their experience in the field. In RI, apprentices will learn the theory - and knowledge - based components of the craft. They must complete 144 hours of classroom or online training each year.

Other MIAP Registered Trades:

Machinist (CNC)

Electro-Mechanical Technician

Maintenance Mechanic (Automatic Equipment)

Quality Assurance Auditor
