Apprenticeship Program
The AGC Multi-Trade Apprenticeship Training Program is comprised of on-the-job training and classroom related instruction. We focus on competency—emphasizing the ability to perform specified skills and tasks—rather than assuming that a particular amount of time spent in the program will result in the acquisition of required knowledge.
Upon completion of the program graduates receive nationally recognized certification from the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and a Journeyworker certificate issued by the State of New Mexico, which is good for life in all fifty states.
