Application Process and Eligibility-
Requirements for applying to the Boilermakers National Apprenticeship Program are that you be at least 18 years of age and have a high school education. All applicants must provide documentation in the form of a copy of their high school diploma or GED (or DD214 if the applicant is a veteran).
Veterans with an honorable discharge who have completed the Helmets to Hardhats registration process are added directly to the top of the Local Lodge’s applicant roster. When your selected Local Lodge requests apprentices, you, as a veteran registered with Helmets to Hardhats, who has expressed an interest in becoming a Boilermaker Apprentice, will gain direct entry into the program.
Applications are processed and placed on the eligibility roster in the order received (proof of education).
Local Lodges will indenture applicants in the order listed on the eligibility roster (starting with Group 1). When selected for indenture, the area apprenticeship office (or Local Lodge) will notify the applicant of the date and time to arrive for orientation and drug screening. Applicants scheduled for indenture must bring a government-issued photo ID (or driver’s license) as proof of age and identity.
Applications remain active for two years. If an applicant has not been selected for indenture into the program within the two years, they must re-apply.
