New Degree Offers Alternative To Traditional Learning
Officials of Indiana's Ivy Tech State College Northwest and the MCA of Chicago/Local Union 597 have announced a new degree program for apprentices and journeymen in its training program.
The Associates degree of Applied Science in Apprenticeship Pipe Fittings, as it's called, allows Chicago's union pipe fitters to earn a college degree while they go through the MCA/LU 597 Apprenticeship Program. It is open to anyone currently in the program, as well as those who have successfully completed it.
