The UAW-Ford Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program (the "Program") provides opportunities for employees to enter the skilled trades as certified Journey persons, to maintain and enhance their skills, and to learn to utilize new technologies and techniques emerging in the skilled trades at Ford facilities.

It administers and oversees:

  • The UAW-Ford Joint Apprenticeship Program
  • The Reskilling Program
  • The Non-Apprentice Training Program

Contact your Local Joint Apprenticeship Committee Representative for information & how to apply. Skilled Tradespersons are in high demand and remain essential to the success of Ford. As vehicle and manufacturing processes become more complex, skilled workers will continue to be required throughout the shop floors. The future is bright for Joint Apprenticeship Program participants.
