The Heavy Equipment TRACK is designed as a pre-apprenticeship pathway
for students to have the opportunity to enter a postsecondary Registered
Apprenticeship training program after graduation while still potentially
earning credit for classes taken that relate to the apprenticeship. Students
must successfully complete the four-course sequence and pass the end-of-program
assessment (students can be enrolled in the 4th course to take the assessment)
to receive the industry certification. In addition, students must either
complete eight KYSAFE
eTraining modules (click on the green TRACK tab and complete the 8 pre-selected
modules) or attain the OSHA 10 or 30 card.
The student is to be enrolled in the pathway in TEDS and adhere to deadlines for TEDS and for CTE End of Program (EOP) assessments. Upon completion, the student will receive a pre-apprenticeship industry certification issued by the Kentucky Office of Employer and Apprenticeship Services by submitting a transcript and the TRACK Pre-Apprenticeship Completion Form. The Registered Apprenticeship sponsor will give a list of students who pass the assessment to the Office of Career and Technical Education. This certification will be recognized by participating partners for an interview and possible credit upon acceptance. Credit is at the discretion of the training organization.
At this time, the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 181are the only partner and will come to the school to give a hands-on assessment. Any Registered Apprenticeship sponsor with a heavy equipment apprenticeship program is eligible to participate.
