Apprenticeships & The Pittsburgh Chapter NTMA

The Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Association is pleased to provide an apprenticeship program that is the combined effort of professionals from across the region. Each year, we accept approximately 25 new apprentices into the four year training program that includes 144 hours of classroom training each year and 2000 hours of hands on application at the job site each year.

Since 1976, the Pittsburgh Chapter NTMA has provided regional manufacturers with a proven apprenticeship training program for individuals seeking metalworking educational opportunities with standards focused on world-class tooling and machining.

What are the Benefits?

  • Apprentices typically earn pay-for-skills promotions during their apprenticeship training. Entry-level apprentices earn an average of $20,000 in wages and benefits in their first year of training. Apprentices who have completed the program typically earn between $30,000 and $40,000 per year.

  • Apprentices gain the theoretical training necessary to achieve Journeyperson certification. Apprentices can also earn NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Skills) credentials in specialty areas.

  • The NTMA Apprenticeship program is an affordable solution for both employers and students. Companies can combine the NTMA Apprenticeship program with structured OJT hours and avoid the cost and time of managing self-run apprenticeship instruction courses.

  • Many of our students are sponsored by their companies. Special financing opportunities are available for students paying for the apprenticeship program out of their own pocket, including those who have been laid-off.

  • Classes are offered at convenient locations in Allegheny and Westmoreland county.
