Lessons on Career Changes and Continued Education
with guest Ryan Bain - currently enrolled in
NYSTA's Apprenticeship Program.
Apprenticeship is a time-honored approach to training skilled workers through a combination of on-the job training and classroom instruction. Each apprenticeable occupation has its own standard training outline which details the on-the-job training and classroom instruction required. Apprentices are full-time employees who produce high-quality work while they learn skills that enhance their employment prospects. An apprentice operates under the close supervision of a skilled worker on the job and takes related classroom instruction at night or on weekends. A graduated pay scale assures that salary reflects the degree of skill achieved.
Employers selects their own apprentices from their current workforce.
One of the requirements of a Registered Apprenticeship Program is a “wage progression.” The apprentice begins at an entry level salary and over the course of the training receives incremental increases as they successfully master their trade. Each company sets its own internal wage progression.
The on-the-job training is done by your own facility. We will provide you with a detailed training outline for trainers/managers to follow. The related instruction, will be provided online by SUNY Delhi. There will also be one week in January for in-person instruction on the SUNY Delhi campus.
It can. Our SUNY partners are experts at creating pathways to degrees; many of the classes can be applied to golf and turf management degree programs.
The most exciting news is that financial support is being provided by SUNY and NYSDOL, which offers a substantial award up to $7,000 for each apprentice accepted into this program. This financial stipend covers nearly 100% of the educational component required for apprenticeship. There is a one-time investment fee of $2,500 to enroll in the program, however, in addition to the $7,000 mentioned above, employers may be eligible for government tax credits up to $5,000 per apprentice over the two year program.
