Apprenticeship Office 

 Vision Statement: The Lansing Community College Apprenticeship Office will be a primary resource for encouraging, supporting and connecting apprenticeship sponsoring companies and their apprentices to relevant related technical instruction along with identifying emerging occupations for possible new apprenticeship opportunities.

Mission Statement: The Lansing Community College Apprenticeship Office seeks to provide personal support and guidance for sponsoring companies and their apprentices throughout their apprenticeship training ultimately enriching lives, our community and economic growth.

Apprenticeship Program: Registered apprenticeships, a structured training program, combine on-the-job, hands-on training at the work site with classroom instruction in technical, job-related subjects. This combination of learning methods gives apprentices both the skills and the knowledge they need to become successful in their chosen careers. The apprenticeship can be sponsored by an individual employer, a group of employers or combinations of employers and unions. Lansing Community College DOES NOT sponsor apprenticeships but does provide the classroom training required.
