Apprenticeship is a tried and true method of enhancing employees' skills and technical knowledge.  Our goal is to provide the future work force the technical training and on-the-job learning needed to become effective operators. ​

The Program is approved through the US Department of Labor and Florida Department of Education.  New hires and current employees are eligible for the two year program.  Requirements include On The Job Training (OJT) that the system will supply and Related Technical Instruction (RTI) that will be roughly two days a month.
