Karla Define Apprenticeship per our industry agreements

4. Internships

5. Background
Yavapai College wishes to provide its students with opportunities for learning through off-campus experiences, including internships and apprenticeships. The industry partners are willing and capable of providing a quality learning experience in an agreement of mutual interest and advantage for the student to be provided an experiential education.
Jim-explain why we do this

6. A successful Model: Freeport mcmoran apprenticeship
11-years ago an agreement between FMI and Yavapai College CTEC was formed to offer apprenticeships that developed into the following three areas
Electrical & Instrumentation
Diesel Technology
Advanced Manufacturing (formally Industrial Plant Technology)
That first-year 33 apprenticeships were awarded – 11 in each area
Karla – FMI approached us and asked for a trained workforce

7. MOU established between YC & fmi
Describes the ongoing relationship for the operation of the program
Provides for annual or biannual review
Establishes responsibilities of FMI and YC and working relationship

8. Freeport mcmoran apprenticeship program
Two-year AAS degree program paid by company
2/3 day school schedule
Apprentices work two 10-hour shifts a week - $16 per hour for the first year and $18 per hour for the second year
Text books and work clothing is paid under the apprenticeship
After the apprenticeship, students are not obligated to work for the company
