MA #1146 Pacific Northwest Industrial Maintenance & Millwright JATC

The MA #1146 Pacific Northwest Industrial Maintenance & Millwright JATC is registered to train apprentices in two trades:

  • Industrial Millwright (MW). The MW program consists of 8,000 on-the-job training hours and four years of core classes. After the program, the apprentice will earn a MW Journey card.
  • Industrial Maintenance Mechanic (IMM). The IMM program consists of 10,000 on-the-job training hours and five years of core classes.  After the program, the apprentice will earn a IMM Journey card and would be eligible to test for their LME license

To officially register for and earn hours through the MW and IMM apprentice programs, students must be currently employed and sponsored by an approved employer. Please see the Become an apprentice page for more information. PCC is not currently able to place students in employment for apprenticeship purposes.

The MA #1146 JATC meets four times per year to conduct business. The Committee is governed by a policy document and a State-approved Standard for each trade. Please refer to the Standard for details about each program.

All apprenticeship classes are for registered apprentices in one these trades and students are only eligible to seek an apprenticeship degree or sit for a licensing exam upon successful completion of a registered apprenticeship program as administered by a registered JATC.

Apprentices take a core class every term (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer). Term 1 begins in Fall term.

An apprentice may begin their program at any term during the year. If an apprentice begins their program in a term when their core class is unavailable, they must enroll in a full-term 30+ hour approved elective from the training committee’s list of approved electives.

Booklists for all classes are available through the PCC Cascade Bookstore and may be purchased in person from the bookstore or online from the PCC bookstore or any online retailer.
