November 26, 2019


December 19, 2019; Waterbury, CT – W.F. Kaynor Technical High School, located in Waterbury, CT, will open a new State of Connecticut-approved school for adult apprenticeship training this January. Related-instruction classes will begin Jan. 21, 2020 in the following licensed trade areas: Electrical, Barbering, Heating\Cooling, Plumbing, Sheet Metal.

The apprenticeship training program is run by the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS), which operates a total of 7 training programs across the state. Both registered and non-registered apprentices can apply.“Working with our partners at the Department of Labor we identified Waterbury as being an area this is under served. As such, CTECS is very excited to offer Connecticut’s workforce this exciting opportunity,” said CTECS director of apprenticeship programming Pat Ciarlegio. “We are looking for students who are currently working in a bona fide apprenticeship program, or students who are looking to gauge if working in a licensed trade is something they are interested in pursuing.”

CTECS low-cost apprenticeship program utilizes only CT Department of Consumer Protection (CT-DCP) instructors who have extensive experience in the trades. Coursework offered is aligned to industry needs and licensure requirements according to the CT Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship Training, and the CT-DCP Occupational Licensing Department.

Students who complete all licensed category coursework will graduate with the related instruction hours required for their trade area, and the knowledge and skills necessary to become licensed with the CT-DCP. Non-registered apprentices may apply the earned credit to future apprenticeship requirements.

Registration will take place on Jan. 6-9, and 13-15, 2020, from 5 – 7:00 p.m., at Kaynor Technical High School, 43 Tompkins St., Waterbury, CT.

Classes begin on Jan. 21, 2020, 6 – 9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
