ADOT Pre-Apprentice Program

The Pre-Apprenticeship Program in Highway Construction is funded by the Federal Highway Administration and sponsored by Arizona Department of Transportation

The Pre-Apprenticeship Program in Highway Construction is designed as a career exploration class and includes hands-on activites and field trips to jobsites (when available) and training sites. These are intended to assist interested persons in selecting the construction craft best suited to them. The class also includes industry based skill building and certifications, designed to help candidates find employment in the construction industry. Our goal is to ensure that you meet or exceed the minimum qualifications for entrance into a registered apprenticeship program.

 Candidates include those who don’t currently meet the minimum qualifications to enter into registered apprenticeship programs and/or those who are interested in construction but need additional information to help them find the craft best suited to them.  

 Included in the class are OSHA 10, CPR - Red Cross, and Flagging Certifications.

Classes are held around the state at least ten times per year. Anyone interested in participating in a class should fill out an application. A syllabus of course content is also available. Both the application and the class syllabus can be seen at the website:
