Opportunities:
The trades include such professions as plumber,
electrician, bricklayer, powerlinemen, auto
technician, carpenter, or any trade recognized
by the State,
or Trades Apprenticeship Advisory Committee.
Entry into these trades is limited, with openings
offered
by each trades committee only once every one
to two years. Normally, applicants are ranked
according

(see "note")
or
2. Journeymen who have completed a registered
program, or
3. Journeymen who have not completed a
registered program, but are recognized
as Journeymen
by a current State license and/or a Joint
Apprenticeship
Advisory

standards and policies for being accepted in a specific trade. Each trade
