How To Apply

New Recruitment Process (2023-)

Effective April 12, 2023, the CTC will no longer be conducting recruitment based on a lottery system. All applicants must attend an in-person information session, fill out the online application, and attend an interview. Applicants will be invited into the program based on ranking. For full details, see announcement below. This page will be updated shortly with full instructions for the new recruitment process.

The Committee requires that applicants:

  • Must be at least 17 years old at the time of offered employment.
  • Must have a high school diploma or a high school equivalency diploma (such as TASC or GED). Proof will be required after selection and prior to indenture.
  • Must be physically able to perform the work of the trade without posing a direct threat to the safety of themselves or others.
  • Must pass a substance abuse screening, at the expense of the sponsor, within 48 hours of selection and prior to indenture. Applicants that do not pass the substance abuse screening will be notified and disqualified from further consideration.
  • Must provide proof of any trade-related experience, certification, or education, after selection and prior to indenture.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or have the legal right to work in the United States. Proof will be required after selection and prior to indenture.
