Home › New York › Machining & CNC apprenticeships
3 registered apprenticeship programs in New York train machining & CNC apprentices. Registered apprenticeships (U.S. Dept of Labor) pay wages from day one — training costs are typically covered by the sponsor instead of tuition. Most run 2–5 years to full journey-level pay, and you apply directly to the sponsor. Licensing note: Machinist (CNC) is an approved apprenticeable trade with the NYS Department of Labor (8,000 hours OJT + 144 hrs/yr instruction); it fully substitutes for schooling since no schooling is legally required.
