Apprentice Program
 Skilled
trades jobs offer some of the most rewarding work in the auto industry - both
personally and financially. Journeymen (and women) possess specialized skills
that are always in demand. The road to becoming a skilled trades worker at Chrysler
begins with the Chrysler-UAW Apprentice Program.
The Apprentice Program is
an 8,000-hour program including 700 hours of training at a local community college
or university and various on-the-job training assignments.
To become a qualified
applicant, an individual must submit proof that he or she has completed two
semesters of high school or college algebra or geometry, or a combination of
both, with a "C" average or better.
When additional training
is being planned, current Chrysler employees will be notified by announcements
posted in Chrysler facilities. Notices may also be posted at community
agencies within a facility's geographical area to attract qualified external
candidates.
If an individual successfully
completes the test and meets the required qualifications, the candidate will
be considered for placement as openings occur.
For information about the Apprenticeship
Program, contact Pat Peralta,
UAW, 586.427.4011
or
Jennifer Palmer, Chrysler LLC, at
586.427.4038.
(No apprenticeship program applications
are currently being taken from outside the corporation.)
