Apprenticeship / Industrial Technology
 Apprenticeship is a structured training program based on a written agreement between the apprentice and the Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee. It is based upon a combination of on-the-job training and classroom coursework.
COCC offers “related training” to Apprentices in the following trades: Boiler/Turbine Operator, Industrial Maintenance Millwright, Manufacturing Plant Electrician, Limited Maintenance Electrician, and Sheet Metal. This training supplements the on-the-job training that Apprentices receive from their employer and is required for Apprentices to become journey persons in their trade. Generally that involves taking one class in the evening two or three terms during the school year.
This training for registered apprentices is offered through the Professional Technical Division of the college in accordance with Oregon 's Law and Plan of Apprenticeship and Training , US Department of Labor and Oregon State Apprenticeship Council.
COCC also offers an associate of applied science degree in Apprenticeship/Industrial Technology to the following trade journey persons: Boiler/Turbine Operator, Industrial Maintenance Millwright, Electrician/Manufacturing Plant and Sheet Metal. In addition to the credit received from COCC for the related training during their apprenticeship, a journey person may receive up to 40 credits for on-the-job experience. The 40 credits are recognized only upon completion of all other requirements for the degree. A total of 24 credits in college coursework must be taken at COCC. Three of those credits can be apprentice-related training. In addition to the related training classes taken as an apprentice and the on-the-job experience training, the courses listed below are required for a degree:
