What is a weekend apprentice?

Weekend Apprentices are individuals who participate in apprenticeship programs that take place primarily on weekends. These roles are designed for people who may have weekday commitments, such as school or another job, but want to gain hands-on experience and training in a specific trade or profession. Weekend Apprenticeships can be found in various industries, such as hospitality, retail, construction, and automotive services. They provide practical skills, mentorship, and often lead to full-time opportunities or certifications. This flexible format allows participants to develop valuable job skills without interfering with their weekday responsibilities.

What can I expect from the team structure and mentorship as a weekend apprentice?

As a Weekend Apprentice, you will typically work alongside experienced professionals who provide hands-on guidance and mentorship. Teams are often supportive and collaborative, with opportunities to ask questions and learn by observing and participating in real tasks. You may rotate between departments or focus on specific projects, depending on the company's structure. This environment is designed to help you build foundational skills and expand your professional network, all while balancing your apprenticeship with other commitments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend apprentice, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Weekend Apprentice, you generally need a willingness to learn, basic technical or trade knowledge, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with industry-specific tools, safety equipment, and sometimes basic computer systems is common. Strong communication, reliability, and a proactive attitude are standout soft skills in this role. These skills and qualities are important for effectively supporting skilled workers, ensuring safety, and making the most of learning opportunities during weekend shifts.

Apprenticeships:
  • Individual is hired as a pre-apprentice for a 1-2 year timeframe to assess their mechanical aptitude and work ethic. If they are interested in pursuing the trades and meet our criteria, they would be indentured into a 5 year apprenticeship program through the State of Wisconsin.
  • Candidates are required to take and pass an Accuplacer test at local technical college for reading and math in order to be eligible. They will also need a high school diploma and transcript.
  • All apprenticeship programs have a great deal of math involved. If someone has struggled with math throughout their previous education (high school or college), they will probably struggle with this through their apprenticeship.
  • During their apprenticeship, employees go to school during a normal school year (September to May). Plumbers and Steamfitter apprentices go for a full day every other week for a span of 4 years. Local 18 apprentices go for a full day every week for a span of 2 years. Apprentices are paid their wages for the days they spend in class. They are then able to bring back what they learn and apply it in their work environment.
  • There are also night classes that are required throughout the 5 year program such as OSHA 30 hour, etc. The classes for night school are often paid for by the union, but the employee is not paid wages for any night classes. For Local 18, the night school classes are only paid for by the union if the student has 100% attendance.
  • During the apprenticeship, there is also a work hour requirement for on-the-job training and experience. Apprentices usually do not have trouble meeting this requirement since they're typically working at Bassett throughout the full apprenticeship.

OMS (Organization Management Services) is a great organization to reach out to for more information on the various apprenticeships available. They are an organization that provides coordination and administration of association activities for unionized construction contractors. Their website (http://www.omswi.com/) contains information on the various apprenticeships and also information on some of the 1st steps to take in that direction.
