NYMAP Pre-Apprenticeship
The CWE, along with our partners, CALSTART, Bronx Community College and the International Association of Machinists union is offering a 60-hour pre-apprenticeship training course to provide participants who have previous automotive training or experience with the fundamentals of fleet technician work.
The course will include introduction to electric vehicles safety and service, diesel engines, and alternate fuel systems. Graduates of this 2-week prep course will be eligible to apply for the New York Mechanic's Apprenticeship Program's (NYMAP) next recruitment in early July. All participants will be paid a stipend of $20 per hour for the 60-hour course.
The NYMAP is a 3-year NYS registered apprenticeship program that gives young workers the ability to learn while you earn - full time, unionized employment with excellent wages and benefits, on the job training and college credited related instruction. NYMAP employers include UPS, Ryder, Penske, Salem and other major logistics companies. All NYMAP apprentices become members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union.
