Some workers may specialize in testing, balancing, and servicing existing air conditioning and ventilation systems. The Associated Builders and Contractors San Diego (ABCSD) Apprenticeship program is a state and federally recognized construction training program. Apprenticeship Career and Technical Education (CTE) combines paid on-the-job training and work experience with formal classroom instruction. Apprentices are employed by a company where they receive hands-on training, and attend classes in the evening to study theory and participate in hands-on technical training. Career Opportunities All Apprentices start off with an hourly wage (based on the prevailing wage in the county in which the work is performed) and in some cases, a fringe benefit package and the wages increase based on advancement within the program. Upon completion of the apprenticeship program, the graduate may be employed at the journey level by contractors. The median California wage for exiting students is $75,446 (2022 LMI data), and the median hour wage for sheet metal is $31 (Bay Area 2022 LMI data). Program Learning Outcomes 1. Support a safe and healthy work environment through analysis of the environment and application of safe policies and practices. 2. Demonstrate the skills to follow plans and blueprints, perform relevant calculations, and effectively use the tools and techniques to install, test, and maintain sheet metal systems in accordance with industry practice, workmanship standards, and regulations. 3. Describe the sheet metal systems, planning, economics, and industry conventions relevant to the work of a sheet metal technician.
