PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT
Amendment 3: Funding from this amendment will go towards the creation of an Electrician Apprenticeship Program for Cook County in the Department of Facilities Management. An apprentice is a paid worker who is enrolled in a special training program administered by an employer together with a labor organization or trade association. In partnership with our local electrician unions, it is the goal of Cook County to provide the highest quality training to those interested in a career in the various fields within the electrical industry. Apprentices graduated from the apprenticeship program are moved up to full trade status. This amendment will provide funding for two apprentices.
