WPI Trainee Apprentice Program
Apprenticeships are real jobs. Apprenticeship is the process of learning a skilled occupation through paid on-the-job training under the supervision of a journey-level craftsperson combined with related classroom instruction. We currently offer two apprenticeship programs at OSUIT, the Komatsu ACT program and Fast Track.
Benefits of an Apprenticeship
- Apprenticeships enable you to start working and earn a wage while you learn key skills and gain qualifications to meet industry standards.
- A paycheck from your first work day will increase as you learn new skills.
- Once the apprenticeship is complete, you are on your way to a successful long-term career with a competitive salary and little or no educational debt.
