ICC Industrial Maintenance Apprenticeship Program Signing Day

Description

               Illinois Central College, along with local companies sponsoring apprentices, will host a signing event for the 12 students in the first cohort of the Industrial Maintenance Apprenticeship Program. Students will begin the earn-and-learn program August 20, 2018.
               ICC has partnered with the following companies providing apprenticeships: AECOM, ALCAST, Caterpillar Inc., and Morton Buildings.
               The partnering companies will provide the work experience to ensure professional skills upon completion, and ICC will provide the in-class training. The apprentices earn as they learn - receiving short, four-week blocks of coursework, followed by four weeks of on-the-job training to refine the skills they have acquired. Additionally, they will earn a guaranteed minimum hourly payment of $13, and the sponsoring company pays for full tuition, fees and books. All candidates were accepted into ICC and are selected to work with the companies through a pre-screening and interview process. At the successful completion of their program, students will receive an Associate in Applied Science degree in Mechatronics Technology.
