Connecticut State Apprenticeship Council

The Connecticut State Apprenticeship Council is a nine-member council appointed by the governor with equal representation from labor, management, and the public. The council advises and recommends to the commissioner and the department standards of apprenticeship and policies of administration. Although the council is no longer mandated to meet, the documents created by the council are utilized by stakeholders and will remain posted.

The Connecticut Department of Labor's Office of Apprenticeship Training provides an industry-recognized, portable credential that certifies completion of the program, distinguishes the apprentice as a master of their craft, and makes the apprentice eligible to take any occupational licensing exams. The apprenticeship programs may last 1-4 years depending upon the trade.
