Students spend half their day in classrooms and labs , and the other half in the shop applying what they have learned and refining their skills .
We work closely with the RAP ( Registered Apprenticeship Program ) in high schools . During last year ’ s career fair , we provided instructors to assist potential young apprentices with the opportunity to gain some insight into our trade by creating a project of their own .
