Steps for Apprentices:

  1. Apply for the RMTMA Apprenticeship by filling out the Apprenticeship Application.

  2. The Host Company (employer) will need to complete their specific steps. If you don't have a Host Company yet, we can introduce you to some opportunities.

  3. You’ll determine which school is most convenient for you to attend. RMTMA currently partners with Community College of Denver (CCD). Here are the CCD Enrollment Steps. This program has flexibility to partner with any school that offer the required core classes.

  4. When you receive funding for schooling, the school will be paid directly for the tuition.

  5. Once you get confirmation from the Host Company, you’ll start performing on-the-job training or schooling that will be credited towards the Machinist Apprenticeship Program.
