Journeyman Upgrade Program About the Program In 2014, the AGC introduced a new journeymen education program. The program allows journeymen from AGC Apprenticeship member contractors to access an extensive variety of training and education courses available through the AGC. Journeymen are encouraged to enroll in these classes to increase their education, increase their value to the contractor, and further their careers in the construction industry. Eligibility In each fiscal year (July 1 - June 30), any journeyman working for an AGC Apprenticeship member contractor will be eligible to take classes based on the following criteria: • • • Journeymen must have worked a minimum of one hour during the fiscal year (as indicated on Polycomp records) in order to be eligible to take classes. Verification of reporting can be done by contacting Becca Schaffer at [phone] or [email protected] Once journeymen have met that one-hour threshold, they are eligible to utilize $2,500 during that fiscal year towards tuition costs for education classes offered by the AGC San Diego Chapter No portion of the $2,500 in tuition costs can be applied to other institutions, such as community colleges, universities or trade schools Available Classes Once eligible, journeymen are able to take any course contained within this catalog. If your company has at least 10 participants the AGC is able to coordinate a training class at your office or job site as long as their is space for training.
