Apprenticeship and Trades

Career and Program Description

Portland Community College provides courses in accordance with the Apprenticeship and Training Laws for the State of Oregon. These courses present technical instruction for the trades and are intended to complement on-the-job skills for both men and women. Each apprentice able trade has a Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) which outlines the procedures to become a journey person. This outline usually consists of two to five years of supervised, on-the-job experience in various aspects of the trade in conjunction with PCC course work. The JATC committees outline the type of supportive courses needed to prepare students to become qualified journey persons in addition to working with related training courses.

Consult the Apprenticeship and Trades Department for assistance in program planning and transcript evaluation. It is recommended to have your graduation petition and transcript evaluation approved by an Apprenticeship and Trades Department advisor prior to filing your petition.

Students wanting to move into management, supervision, or small business management can transfer to Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) with related-training credits toward a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Operations Management after earning an Apprenticeship AAS degree.
