Workforce Division: Sheet Metal
Calling all sheet metal apprentices! Butler Community College and the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC) have come together to design and build a degree program for people like you who are already working in the industry.
Get Started!
Take Your Apprenticeship to a Metal Level
Because the program is intended for current sheet metal practitioners, the coursework differs slightly from Butler’s typical requirements for earning an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. This is done as a way to honor the educational background of students who come from different apprenticeship programs.
Two Precious Metals: Apprenticeship and Degree
This exciting Butler/JATC partnership allows sheet metal apprentices to earn an AAS, in person or online, while also earning their professional certificate. Once a Journeyman’s card has been issued, a maximum of 47 credit hours can be applied toward the AAS.
