Program Description
The Landscape Technology program provides four years of related and supplemental training for apprentices. The courses offered cover a wide variety of materials and curricula to meet the day-to-day needs of a journeyman. This includes plumbing and pipefitting, basic electrical and low voltage, plant selection and watering, and knowledge of pesticides and control methods. 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
