West Virginia Northern recognizes training from approved U.S.
Department of Labor Bureau of Apprenticeship Training (BAT)
programs towards an associate degree. Required courses of
study for eligible programs are determined by agreements between
the College and the apprenticeship program. Individuals must
be enrolled in or have completed the approved apprenticeship
program in order to be eligible to enroll in this program.
Those BAT apprenticeship programs which are currently available
for the occupational development program are:
- Building & Construction Trades with the Upper Ohio
Valley Building and Construction Trades Council AFL-CIO
- Child Development Specialist with Northern Panhandle
Apprenticeship Council
- Firefighters with Wheeling Fire Department Joint
Apprenticeship Committee
- Plumbers and Steamfitters with Wheeling Plumbers and
Steamfitters Joint Apprenticeship Committee
There are four components of the program. General
education courses are offered by the College. Technical core
courses and technical specialty courses are included within
classroom instruction which is part of the apprenticeship program
and may be supplemented by college courses in some cases.
On-the-job training which is part of the apprenticeship program is
awarded credit under agreements negotiated by the partners.
