Requirements

The Apprenticeship Program for
the Technical Trades

Because the training and measurement tools are all web-based, there will be some computer requirements that need to be addressed before registering.

For the best results with the Mentors @ Work program, you will need:

1. A Computer - The faster and more powerful your computer is, the better. If you are using a low speed processor, it will still work, but you may experience some longer load times.
   
   
2. Internet connection - Realize that web pages can only load as fast as your internet connection allows them to. If you are using anything less than a 56k modem, you can expect slow load times.
   
   
3. E-mail - The Program Coordinator, the Mentor, and the Apprentice will all need an e-mail address.  If any of these people already have an e-mail address, they should use that address. If someone needs an e-mail address, Click Here To Get A Listing Of Some FREE E-Mail Address Providers.

These requirements are necessary to use the web-based training for the Mentors @ Work Program. However, there will be other requirements for the program. Some of these are:

• Your personal time and dedication to the Program
• Tools and other expenditures to assist the Apprentice's entry into a new career, as well as your shop
• Patience with people who will make mistakes
• The authority to invest in your new employee and your shop's Mentor

Be dedicated to the Program and your employees.
