The Vermont Registered Plumbing and Electrical Apprenticeship Program
The Vermont Registered Apprenticeship is a primarily employer-sponsored training program that includes both supervised work experience and related instruction. Employers participate in Registered Apprenticeship by “sponsoring” individuals as apprentices. The employer sets a progressive wage scale, agrees to provide supervised OJT, and helps to financially support the classroom instruction component of the program.
Related instruction in the plumbing and electrical apprenticeship can be delivered in a variety of formats, but most apprentices attend classes through Vermont Technical College at a number of sites around the state including Stafford Technical Center.
If you are employed and wish to become an apprentice, your employer should contact the Apprenticeship office in Montpelier at (802) 828-4356. If you are not employed, you can find an employer sponsor in a variety of ways including approaching employers who employ workers in the field in which you are interested.
If you are interested in taking electrical or plumbing classes at Stafford Technical Center, please feel free to contact Victor Karren at (802) 786-8841.

The Stafford Driver Training School will soon include two new instructors who will help inaugurate the automobile driver training program for adults later this fall. Stan Blicharz and David Potter, are both veteran driving instructors from two large Rutland County high schools but have recently earned their licenses to teach adults how to safely and effectively navigate the highways and byways of the Northeast and beyond. Both men will bring a love of teaching and driving to the classroom and Subaru Forester that will serve as the training vehicle for this next critical arm of the Stafford Driver Training School. The adult automobile driver training curriculum will consist of 12 classroom and 6 over-the-road hours after which time students can schedule a road test with the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles.
Educators and job training specialists alike are pleased that this opportunity has been developed to help adults who are limited in choices that are available to them in both areas due to a lack of public and personal transportation.
