Construction Apprenticeship Program at Tri-C

The Construction Apprenticeship program at Cuyahoga Community College provides customized curricula for skilled trades in bricklaying, carpentry, cement masonry, construction labor, floor laying, ironworking, millwrighting, operating engineering, painting and allied trades, pipefitting and steam fitting, plumbing, and sheet metal working.

Each year the Construction Apprenticeship program trains more than 3,500 students. Apprenticeship training takes four to five years to complete, with the opportunity to earn two-year degrees in applied sciences. Students must be working in a registered apprenticeship program in Ohio in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, and the State Apprenticeship Council. Each construction trade conducts apprenticeship programs at its Joint Apprenticeship Training Center (JATC).
