Montclair State University

Montclair State University is proud to introduce New Jersey’s first public university facilities apprenticeship program, focusing on specialized training in essential trades such as plumbing, electrical work, and HVAC. This innovative program is designed to enhance the skills of employees, providing them with the hands-on training needed to excel in these vital occupations.

In addition to the facilities apprenticeship program, Montclair State University is at the forefront of addressing the teacher shortage in New Jersey with its Teacher Certification Apprenticeship Program. This initiative creates pathways for paraprofessionals to become certified teachers, further demonstrating the university's commitment to workforce development and community support.
