Seattle Catalog
With an apprenticeship through CITC, you will receive formal classroom training without the cost of tuition, and you won’t have to wait until you’ve graduated to begin your career. You will have the opportunity to work with first-class employers to receive paid on-the-job training while under the direct supervision of experienced journey-level workers. With this combination training, you learn the “how” and “why” of your trade by applying what you learn in the classroom to the real world. Technological advances have created new improvements, ideas, and processes. The construction industry is in need of individuals with complete knowledge of the practical and technical aspects of their trade. Regardless of the trade you choose, CITC’s apprenticeship training will prepare you for a career in which individual ability and skill are recognized and rewarded.
