Michigan registered apprenticeships
This finder includes both union (JATC) and non-union (ABC, IEC, Helmets-to-Hardhats) registered apprenticeships pulled from the DOL RAPIDS system. Editorial deep-dives below currently focus on verified JATC locals — non-union pathway profiles are in development.
Michigan is an Office of Apprenticeship (OA) state; registered apprenticeships flow through U.S. DOL. Licensing for electricians, plumbers, and mechanical (HVAC) contractors is handled statewide by LARA's Bureau of Construction Codes (BCC). Electrical licenses run on Michigan Electrical Code Rules Part 8 plus the 2023 NEC; plumbing and mechanical licenses are issued per classification, with mechanical requiring a separate exam for each work classification (hydronics, HVAC equipment, ductwork, refrigeration, etc.).
