Skilled Trade Apprentice Program
Skilled trades are an important component of the Airports Authority ’ s success . The Office of Human Resources and Administrative Services , in coordination with the Maintenance and Engineering departments and the American Federation of Government Employees unions , manage the Skilled Trades Apprentice Program . The program is designed to develop skilled trades workers by providing on-the-job training , related classroom instruction and a guaranteed wage structure . The goal is to attract , develop and retain highly qualified employees and ensure they are equipped with the necessary competencies , knowledge , and skills .
The program will help apprentices develop their skills , meet industry recognized standards , and achieve journey worker status in a trade . All apprentices are paid while enrolled and receive a full benefits package . While apprentices complete the classroom instruction portion of the program , the Airports Authority covers the cost of tuition , books , and materials . To assure mastery of the occupation , apprentices attend related or supplemental training for theoretical and lab / shop training . The combination of classroom , training , on-the job learning , and mentoring establishes a firm foundation for each apprentice .
