Power Test’s apprenticeship program is a form of post-secondary education like any college or university. There’s one big difference, though. Apprentices get paid. They receive on the job training for which they are compensated at a good wage and get supplementary skills training in the classroom, most often through the Wisconsin Technical College System.
While working 4 days a week, and spending an additional (paid) day in the classroom, apprentices gain real-world experience, an education, and industry relevant certifications. Most importantly, the Power Test Apprenticeship Program gives you a career.
