After you have turned in and completed the pre-screening process (all the information listed above) you will then be handed the offical application to be filled out. All of this will then be sent to PPATKS office where your applicaiton will be processed. Once processed and on the list for an interview, we will notify you for a drug screen. Once the drug screen comes back and everything looks good, we will then send you a certified letter with a time and date for an interview. This will not be changed to fit your schedule. Once all interviews are compelete we will then send out another letter stating your ranking score. We start filling positions with #1 and go up from there. We are not able to determine how many apprentices we will bring in. This decision is made based on Signatory Contractor needs.

Please make sure you keep your contact information current with the PPATKS office. This will help insure that we are able to contact you when needed.
