Asked by jmlchy
I have some experience in gas industry in Bangladesh. Now I am interested to do apprenticeship training for process operators/supervisor for gas/ refinery industry. How can I get an employer for the above apprentice training?

Best Answer:
Here is the website for apprenticeship information: www.tradesecrets.org You should speak to your supervisor first to find out if the company you work for hires apprentices first because not all companies do. Next choose a trade, study the pre-apprenticeship manual - it's on the website. After you have studied it you can make an appointment to take the appropriate test. Once you have passed the test you are then qualified to start an apprenticeship. Having taken the test and being qualified may show your employer that you are serious about being one. You do realize that an apprenticeship could take up to 4 years depending on the trade. The other alternative is to either have the appropriate schooling or pretrade training and go to an accredited trade school where it will cut the time down by at least half. From there you will be able to do work experience with employers who are in partnership with the school. The schools also have recruiters coming to them looking for graduates of these trades to come and work from them. Having previous experience is a great first step in getting your apprenticeship and hopefully will help you pass the test for the trade of your choice apprenticeship. Many employers will be more likely to take on an apprentice if they are already in the apprenticeship program or 1st year apprentice which is what you would be classified as once you pass your test. Have gotten your 1st year apprenticeship you know that you will have to have supervised logged hours which are required plus intermittent schooling for test before going onto 2nd year. Some employers will pay for the schooling while don't - depends on how hard you work and if the company is short of that particular trade. Hopefully this has been of some help to you. Good Luck.

Wouldn't the best route be to get a degree in Chemical Engineering?
