Applications are being accepted through April 25 for the Machinist Apprenticeship Program sponsored by the Laboratory and Northern New Mexico College.
The Machinist Apprenticeship Program provides apprentices with classroom instruction and on-the-job experience in machine tool operations. Apprentices work under a professional machinist and receive the education and experience required for certification from the New Mexico State Apprenticeship Council as journeyman machinists. Apprentices also receive a salary during their tenure, according to the MAP salary structure and budget.
The Lab restored a Machinist Apprenticeship Program to relieve the need for certified machinists at the Lab. Apprentices are regularly hired as full-time machinists at the Lab after completion of the program.
The Machinist Apprenticeship Program is open to all U.S. citizens over 18 years old. Applicants must be able to obtain a Department of Energy Q clearance and have a high-school diploma and an aptitude in mechanics/machining.
