Apprenticeship Program Our Apprenticeship Program combines on the job training with classroom education in a specific trade (carpentry or millwright) over a four year apprenticeship period. On the jobsite, each apprentice will work under a skilled and experienced journeyman who will provide training on a one-on-one basis. In the classroom the apprentice must take 144 hours of classroom instruction per year.  The classes are designed specifically for your trade and are sanctioned by the Virginia Department of Labor, ABC of Baltimore, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. After each year of employment, the apprentice will receive a pay raise.  And after successful completion of the four year program, the apprentice is promoted to journeyman and will receive an official certificate documenting this status.  In just four years you can rise from a laborer to a journeyman with a marketable skill!
