PRE-APPRENTICESHIPS & APPRENTICESHIPS

Pre-Apprenticeships

Several times a year, ACI partners with community organizations in Cincinnati to run a pre-apprenticeship program to prepare participants for a career in the construction industry. These programs run anywhere from six to twelve weeks, and participants learn the basics of construction through the NCCER Core Curriculum, which touches on the basics of safety, hand tools, power tools, and more. This training model allows construction companies to hire from a pool of certified applicants ready for employment. Upon completing the program, students are entered into the National Registry System and receive OSHA 10 training and Bobcat Heavy Equipment training.

Benefits to Employers:

• Pre-employment assessment and screening
• A diverse pool of credentialed applicants
• Potential on the job training dollars to supplement training costs
• OSHA 10 certified candidates

We are always seeking member companies to speak to our students about opportunities in the industry. If you are interested in giving back, please reach out.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are an opportunity for someone to learn a skill/trade while earning wages. Most apprenticeships consist of three to five years of on-the-job training and related technical training. After the program, an apprentice becomes a journeyman, fully qualified in that trade.
