Changes of Approach

There are three approaches programs may use to train apprentices: Time-Based, Competency-Based, and Hybrid.

We post the names of all trades requesting a change of approach for a minimum of 30 calendar days. During this time, any member of the public can submit comments. The Apprenticeship Training Operations Manager reviews comments.

There are two ways to submit comments:

1. E-mail ATCO@labor.ny.gov. Make the subject line "Comments on Change of Approach."
2. Mail comments to:
