Fenton, Michigan – Miller Industries, a family-operated coleader in custom steel fabrication, air supply systems, modular mechanical and electrical systems, and structural steel is excited to announce the launch of two new United States Department of Labor (USDOL) approved apprenticeship programs. These programs will provide rigorous training for aspiring Electricians and Welder-Fitters, enhancing workforce development in our community and beyond.
The Electrician Apprenticeship Program will equip participants with the skills to install, maintain, and repair electrical wiring, equipment, and fixtures in accordance with relevant codes. Spanning four years, this program includes 615 hours of dedicated classroom training at Mott Community College and 8,000 hours on the job (4 years).
Similarly, the Welder-Fitter Apprenticeship Program will focus on developing expertise in hand-welding, flame-cutting, hand-soldering, and brazing equipment.
Participants will learn essential techniques for welding and joining metal components, ensuring high-quality fabrication. This four-year program consists of 600 classroom training hours at Mott Community College and 8,000 hours on the job as well.
“I felt the best way to get an education and provide better workmanship was through the apprenticeship program,” said Hunter Fifield, current electrical apprentice. He is three years into the program and has enjoyed the variety of work he gets to do at Miller Industries.
