REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP
At New Castle County Vo-Tech's AED, we believe Registered Apprenticeship is the best way to learn a skilled trade and earn the Journeyperson Certificate, the most sought-after industry-recognized credential.
Why Apprenticeship?
Earn While You Learn: Apprentices gain job skills while earning an income that increases throughout the program.
Formal Training System: Combines on-the-job training (OJT) with classroom instruction (RTI).
How It Works:
Three-Way Agreement: Between the apprentice, the sponsoring employer, and the Department of Labor (DOL).
OJT and RTI: Apprentices receive hands-on training through a sponsoring employer (OJT) and trade-related classroom instruction (RTI).
Program Requirements: Most trades require 576 RTI hours and 8,000 OJT hours to earn the Journeyperson Certificate.
NCCVT's AED RTI Programs:
DOL-Approved: Programs for Delaware and surrounding states.
Tracking Progress: Employers and DOL track OJT hours, while NCCVT tracks RTI hours.
Completion: Once OJT and RTI requirements are met, DOL issues the Journeyperson Certificate.
TECHNICAL TRAINING
RTI Programs for All:
Open Enrollment: Available to both Registered Apprentices and Non-Registered Apprentices.
Technical Training Students: Non-Registered Apprentices can enroll in RTI Programs as Technical Training Students.
Differences of Technical Training Students from Registered Apprentices:
No Employer Sponsor: Cannot complete OJT hour requirements.
Same RTI Rigor: Receive the same RTI as Registered Apprentices.
AED Diploma: Upon completion, receive a diploma recognized by Delaware's Department of Labor.
Job Placement Assistance:
Technical training students have access to job placement assistance through our Job Placement Coordinator.
