An Inside Look at LLNL's Machinist Apprenticeship Program

Known as one of the top machinist apprenticeship programs in the state, Engineering’s Apprentice program teaches entry-level machinists the technical skills and provides the safety training they need to be certified machinists at LLNL and in the State of California.

During the program, participants learn advanced manufacturing techniques from highly-skilled veteran machinists and former machinist apprentice graduates. Giving guidance and instruction to the next generation is a strong tradition in the machinist trade.

The Machinist Apprentice Program began in the 1950s, and has a long history of providing education and training in the machine tool trade. The four-year Machinist Apprenticeship Program is very selective -- typically hiring two out of 100-plus applicants.

Selected candidates are provided with a mentor in every shop and required to complete eight 1,000-hour training periods. If they're able to show mastery of all training and education objectives, they are rewarded with a state-certified machinist certificate.
