Program Description
This is a two year program requiring 4,000 hours of on-the-job training as well as 288 clock hours of related instruction.

The College provides classroom-related and supplemental instruction for apprenticeship programs. Classes are held in the days, evenings, and Saturdays, depending on the program. The College neither provides on-the-job training nor acts as a sponsor for apprentices. Individuals must locate their own sponsors. For individual industry-sponsored programs, students should contact their employers’ training director or the Apprenticeship Office.

The Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship is the federal registering agency for all Utah programs. For National credentials, students and sponsors need to be registered with the Federal Office of Apprenticeship, 125 South State Street, Suite 2412, Salt Lake City, UT 84138. Sponsors are encouraged to be registered with the Office of Apprenticeship.

Career Opportunities
Apprenticeship students are expected to be employed while participating in related training course work. Upon completion of this program and the completion of the 4,000 hours of on-the-job training, students should be considered Journeyman cement masons and will be able to continue employment in their field at this level. Or they may transfer to another craft with the possibility of advancing at an accelerate rate because of the base of knowledge and skills obtained throughout this program.
