About the Program

The Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance Technology Apprenticeship certificate program is based on the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Oregon State Apprenticeship Training Council and local Joint and Trade Apprenticeship Training Committee related training standards. It combines full-time, on-the-job work experience with trade-related theoretical instruction. This certificate is available only to BOLI-registered apprentices. If you are interested in becoming a registered apprentice in an Oregon state apprenticeship program, contact the Apprenticeship office at ApprenticeshipInfo@roguecc.edu. RCC supports this 8,000-hour BOLI-ATD trade: millwright.

The certificate is a credential within Rogue Community College’s Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance Technology Apprenticeship Pathway. The pathway model provides statewide transfer opportunities, ladder-type certificates of completion, and an optional transfer path into a Bachelor of Science degree at the Oregon Tech. It also provides additional access to related training courses across the state for registered apprentices with aligned program outcomes, assessments and courses.
