Apprentice Benefits
Apprenticeship Benefits
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Maintenance Specialist or a Service Technician in the Pool & Spa Service Industry.
These are high-quality jobs that allow you to work in the great outdoors in trades that are fulfilling and challenging. Become a part of a professional team that will help you grow into a successful employee, where the benefits are many:
Earn while you learn - Receive a starting wage of minimum wage or higher.
Paid education - Tuition covered by employer.
Wage increases - When all your requirements are completed and confirmed with your employer and PSATC.
Journeyman wages and BONUS opportunity at graduation.
Minimum journeyman wage of $22.00/hr for the Maintenance Specialist and $28.00/hr for the Service Technician after completion of the program.
The reality is that there are few educational opportunities where you can be fully employed and working -- and drawing a salary. That is what PSATC’s Apprenticeship Program can offer, giving you the chance to pursue coursework and journeyman-guided, in-the-field training to improve your job skills – and your employer pays for the cost of that education.
The end goal is to excel in the year-long program, get certified, and then earn a higher salary.
That is a commitment made by the employer on the front end to provide PSATC graduates with a commensurate salary increase once they get State of California certified.
An employer investing in an apprentice is showing a degree of confidence in the potential of that apprentice to become a successful professional doing work you can be proud of each and every day, as part of a team that places high value in you and the contributions you make to the company.
PSATC is an Equal Opportunity Apprenticeship Program
