Manufacturing Alliance Apprenticeship Program

The New York State Manufacturers Alliance – of which the Council of Industry is a founding member – has created a New York State Manufacturers Intermediary Apprenticeship Program (MIAP).  Administered in the Hudson Valley by the Council of Industry MIAP will be an employer-led public-private pilot program for registered apprentices in manufacturing occupations.

If you are a manufacturing employer or potential apprentice click here to receive more information, or contact Johnnieanne Hansen (845) 565-1355 or email jhansen@councilofindustry.org to discuss details, requirements and potential opportunities. To view current apprentice job openings click here.

This apprenticeship has two basic elements. The first, On-the-Job Training (OJT), consists of a journey-level, craft person capable and willing to share their experience with an apprentice, in a hands-on manner. The second, Related Instruction (RI), consists of learning more theoretical or knowledge-based aspects of a craft. 

This registered apprentice program will typically be 16 months to four years in duration.

MIAP Registered Trades:

• Machinist (CNC)
• Electro-Mechanical Technician
• Maintenance Mechanic (Automatic Equipment)
• Quality Assurance Auditor
• Toolmaker
• Industrial Manufacturing Technician
• Plastics Molder
