What is a Technical Apprenticeship? 

Boeing Technical Apprenticeship Program (BTAP), is an official registered apprenticeship recognized by the Department of Labor (DOL). It is an earn and learn program including formal learning, on-the-job experiences, and mentorship. Every graduate of a Registered Apprenticeship program will receive a nationally-recognized credential from the DOL. 

What makes a great Technical Apprentice? 

A degree is not required to apply for most technical apprenticeship programs. We select apprentices based on a range of core traits and skills, such as: 

• Passion for continuously learning, improving, technology, and achieving more 

• Curious mindset, problem solving, and ability to quickly apply back into your work 

• Mechanical aptitude and eagerness to learn new things and help others 

• Positive attitude and strong work ethic 

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively with accountability to a team

What is the experience? 

As an apprentice, you'll join with other apprentices in a cohort and go through experiences together, learning Boeing, aerospace, and core Assembly fundamentals. Additionally, managers and mentors will support progress through the personal skills roadmap, learning and demonstrating new skills through hands-on application with project teams. 

During the apprenticeship duration, you will initially complete a highly rigorous and accelerated learning program tailored to develop foundational skills across manufacturing and assembly. At the conclusion of the program, successful candidates will have the chance to convert to a union-represented Circuit Card Assembly Specialist position where your skills will be enhanced with training and on-the-job learning tailored for a specific program.
