The Apprenticeship Skilled Trades program will provide the opportunity for journey-level trades people to develop general education, managerial and technical skills needed to advance in their chosen career, typically management level.

The AST degree would give a qualified trades person the opportunity to advance their education without repeating the trades classes that they would already be proficient in.
