The IAM/Boeing apprenticeship is a combination of real world, on-the-job work assignments under the instruction of qualified employees. It includes mandatory off-hour trade related classroom instruction in specific highly skilled trades. The five apprenticeship programs currently offered at Boeing are four or five years in length and include a 20% probation period at the start of each program. Apprentices may work first and second shift on a rotating schedule. Off-hour instruction requires 160 unpaid classroom hours per school year.
