HOW IT WORKS

1. Apprentices train at an NLC campus two weeks each year:

 

 

  • During their time on campus, they’re immersed in a positive learning environment where they develop the knowledge, skill, and behavior needed to achieve journey-level status.
  • Training at NLC’s state-of-the-art facilities includes classroom, lab, and field work, using up-to-date curriculum and modern work methods.
2. After the two-week training session, apprentices return to their workplace:

 

 

  • They apply their new training under the supervision of an experienced journeyman, developing further mastery in the trade.
