Contact Information for Apprenticeships


SVC is affiliated with two Apprenticeship programs, the Northwest Carpenter’s Institute of Washington, and the Northwest Washington Electrical Industry JATC.

Although these apprenticeship programs are affiliated with SVC, each program has its own coordinator and selection procedures. Generally, applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a valid Washington State driver’s license, and go through a selection process which might include a written test, physical test, drug test, and/or interview. 

If you are interested in applying to one of these apprenticeships or would like more information, please log onto the program’s website.
