Metropolitan’s Apprenticeship Program
Metropolitan’s Apprenticeship Program is for mechanical and electrical technicians. It provides journey-level skills training using a combination of structured on-the-jobexperiences as well as related lectures and labs.
Program Details
The four-year program is led by two full-time instructors and certified by the California State Division of Apprenticeship Standards. It is divided into eight, six-month learning segments, which includes a six-month probationary period. Apprentices are paid throughout the program and considered employees of Metropolitan, eligible for benefits. They learn in a classroom setting for two to three days per month. Veterans Affairs GI Bill benefits are available. At graduation, participants will earn a journey-level certificate with 36 hours of college credits applicable towards an associate’s degree in Applied Sciences and the offer of a full-time job at Metropolitan.
The Application Process
Program announcements are posted 45 days before applications are accepted. The acceptance window lasts up to 14 days, or until the maximum number of applications are
received (typically within a few hours of posting). Program announcements will include test and interview dates as well as a candidate preparation guidebook. With each application
period, Metropolitan creates a list of eligible candidates to draw from over a minimum two-year window
