Apprenticeship Program Models
Programs are developed based on the type of program. There are four
models available for administering an ACFEF apprenticeship training
program. Each model falls under one of two categories:
- Chapter Programs
Program models that fall under the chapter category, including Chapter Model, Educational
Institution Model and Major Employer Model,
are sponsored by a local ACF Chapter and are maintained by a program
coordinator and chapter volunteers.
- Corporate Programs
The Corporate Model is only for large
corporations or employers and is administered by a program
coordinator at the facility, usually a human rsources director.
Chapter Model
- Administered by an ACF chapter
