Apprentices work for a signatory contractor for 4000 hours (about two years) and take 300 hours of related training (classroom and hands-on) at our training center. Apprentice wages are on a progressive scale and are based on journeyman wages. The starting wage for an apprentice is currently $15.27 per hour (60% of journeyman wages). For every 1000 hours of OJT and 75 hours of related training that an apprentice completes, wages increase to 70% of the journey scale, 80%, 90% and 100%.
