Utah Valley State College, through the School of Technology, Trades & Industry, provides apprentices related theoretical instruction in structured classes.

Apprenticeship programs are composed of two parts:

1. Classroom instruction.
2. On-the-job training is provided by a sponsor who exposes the apprentice to practical applications in all phases of a particular craft. The classroom related instruction is an organized and systematic form of instruction designed to provide the apprentice with knowledge of the theoretical and technical aspects of their craft. Total completion of an apprenticeship program will take from two to five years, depending upon the craft.

The College neither provides on-the-job training nor acts as program sponsor for apprentices. Individuals must locate their own program sponsors.

New apprenticeship classes, with a minimum of 12 students, can be offered on request from the community, business, and industry. For additional information on apprenticeship classes, contact the Apprenticeship Office.

Apprentice classes cannot be taken for audit without departmental approval.

The Apprenticeship Programs administrative offices are located at the Geneva Building, 1410 West 1250 South Orem, Utah
