Washington Space has over 400,000 highly-skilled aerospace and manufacturing workers. The Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee (AJAC) was instituted by the State in 2008 to address challenges associated with building a skilled 21st century workforce and competing in a global economy. The challenges include:  Increase in impending retirements  New emerging technologies  Greater production demand have created

 Vision: The Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee’s (AJAC) vision is to produce the most highly skilled and trained aerospace and manufacturing craftspeople in the world, ensuring that the art of the skilled trades is not lost. AJAC brings value to Washington State employers and residents by keeping the aerospace industry alive and thriving, thus revealing Washington State as the world leader of extraordinary and cutting edge aerospace training.

 Mission: AJAC’s mission is to provide exceptional and responsive apprenticeships, innovative supporting signature training programs with cutting-edge curriculum and highly effective trades trainers. AJAC offers a method for transferring the breadth and depth of knowledge and skills between generations of the workforce, thus promoting the value of contributing to the next generation.

Brings together both practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation via: 1. On-the-job training (OJT) 2. Related Supplemental Instruction (RSI) 3. Supervision by a journey-level trade professional

 AJAC and its advisory committee, comprised of employers and employees, have developed and implemented the following registered apprenticeship programs based on employer and industry need:  Machinist (Aircraft-Oriented)  Aircraft Mechanic Airframe Program Outline  Precision Metal Fabricator  Tool and Die Maker  Industrial Maintenance Mechanic  CNC Machining (coming soon)

 Learned through a structured, systematic program of supervised OJT  Clearly identified and commonly recognized throughout an industry  Involves manual, mechanical, or technical skills and knowledge that require a minimum of 2000 hour of on-the-job experience  Requires RSI by a journey level trainer

 Registered apprenticeship in most apprenticeable occupations is open to anyone age 16 or older  Individuals must satisfy the sponsor that they have the ability, aptitude, and education  Credentials or documentation may be required by the sponsor including:  High School Diploma or GED  Driver’s License  Proof of Insurance

Apprentices: acquire and retain skills, knowledge, and valuable experience from highly skilled journey-workers are a vital link in a continuous flow of knowledge and experience, passing these skills along to future workers upon graduation, apprentices earn journey- worker status and are promoted to their target job at the maximum rate of pay
