WHAT IS APPRENTICESHIP?
At Sussex Tech we call it "the other four year degree". It is the best way to learn a skilled trade. It combines
on the job skills training provided by a sponsoring employer with related instruction theory classes here at
Sussex Tech. Employees sponsored thru the Department of Labor are considered "state registered
apprentices". Non-apprentices may attend these classes by paying tuition but must comply with all State of
Delaware and Sussex Tech apprenticeship rules, regulations, and policies to receive credit.
STATE REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP AGREEMENT
Employer
Delaware Department of Labor
An employer sponsors an employee through the Delaware Department of Labor as a “State Registered
Apprentice”. This means the “sponsoring employer” agrees to train the apprentice on the job (O.J.T.) for
2000 hours per year. The apprentice agrees to attend related instruction classes at Sussex Tech for 144 hours
per year.
When the apprentice accumulates 8000 hours of O.J.T. and 576 hours of related instruction, the sponsoring
employer can request that the Delaware Department of Labor issue Journeyperson papers.

violated.
Examples of sexual harassment are, but not limited to include, the following:

of any form.
3. Verbal contact such as sexually suggestive gestures or obscene gestures about a person=s body
or body parts, sexual statements that take the form of threats, jokes, teasing, media contacts, or
pressure for sexual favors.

of movement; pinching, patting, or brushing against another person as to interfere with their
privacy; or actual sexual contact, assault, rape.
5. Retaliation such as any actions, or the threat thereof, taken against any person filing a complaint
about sexual harassment.
The Sussex Tech Adult Division wants all people in its community to be free of any form of sexual
harassment. If you believe that you are the subject of sexual harassment, you should report the instance
immediately to an employee of the district who is in a position of authority.

the District to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist), or a
