The Arioch Center @ Wentworth signed an articulation agreement with Local 103 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) to offer an Associate of Applied Science in Engineering Technology (AENT) to graduates of the Inside Wireman Apprenticeship Program.
The agreement enables graduates of the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) of Greater Boston to advance their careers through a professional degree program designed to enhance skills, supplementing the content of the JATC.
Recognizing apprentices’ full-time work schedules, the program is structured so that all courses are offered on Saturdays at the IBEW Training Facility in Dorchester. Students will take two courses each semester for five semesters, and will complete the associate degree program in less than two years.
“Students will benefit from a program that fits into their busy professional lives and offers the opportunity to gain an important academic credential, which will be helpful for managementlevel jobs and for building a more educated workforce,” said Dr. Michael Kupferman, associate vice president of academic affairs and associate provost at Wentworth.
