Other Helpful Web sites to Check Out

	www.azwaca.org
	This site can link you directly to the websites of many apprenticeship programs so you can research their program. The sites provide information on minimum requirements, address, phone number and more. They also have icons for sending them email with questions such as those recommended below.
	www.azcommerce.com (click the Workforce Development button on left side of the screen)
	This is the official website for Registered Apprenticeship in the state of Arizona. This site will also let you link directly to the sponsors Web site, if they have one, send email to ask questions or request information. Although the program allows you to do so, I do NOT recommend that you do a search by county or occupation. Programs are listed only in the county where they receive mail. If you search by occupation, you may use terminology that is not the same as that used by the program sponsor. For example, you might search on “electrician.” The sponsor could list their occupation as: Electrician, Line Repairer, Lineman, Residential Wirer, or Residential Electrician. You get the idea.

You can also receive a list of programs by calling the Apprenticeship Services Office at 602.771.1182.

When calling a program, be sure to ask these important questions:

1. When do you take applications?

Most programs specify a specific day and time. If you arrive at other times,
you will be sent away without applying.

2. What documents do I need to bring with me? 

Programs are required by Federal law to keep certain information regarding all applicants to substantiate the fairness of their selection process. If you do not have these documents with you when you apply, they will not hold your application.  Save yourself a trip and have all documents the first time you go.

3. Can you mail me information about your program? 

If you are at all interested in the sponsor, do request information. They will be glad to send you written materials that will assist you in making your decision.
