Overview

Kennebec Valley Community College offers an Associate in Applied Science degree for people in trade and technical occupations. This program is designed to recognize the proficiency of people who are enrolled in, or have completed, a registered apprenticeship program (i.e. journeyman status).

Women and men who have completed or are currently enrolled in a registered apprenticeship program of a formal program approved by the College may apply and simultaneously complete both their training program and degree requirements.

A registered apprenticeship program is approved by the Maine State Apprenticeship and Training Council or the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.

“I learned about the Technical Trades degree at KVCC and thought that was a great opportunity. Since I am doing this, now I can be a journeyman and a college graduate too. In a few years I will be well-positioned to be a supervisor by experience and by my credentials.”
—KVCC Student
