and

DISCUSSION:
The United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, provides funds for local
apprenticeship training and on-the-job programs.
In Texas, the firefighter apprenticeship program is funded through the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board and is administered locally by Tarrant County College. The intent of the program is to
teach a set of standardized skills to firefighters across the county. The Fire Department is an authorized
apprenticeship training facility and, therefore, part of the standard training that Fort Worth provides its
recruits allows the Department to receive these funds.
Funding is based on the number of enrollees in the program and contact hours received by each enrollee.
Approved expenditures of apprenticeship funds include instructors' salaries, instructional
materialstsupplies, instructional equipment, rental, office supplies, postage and travel. The Fire
Department will use these funds mainly to purchase instructional equipment for use in delivering training
programs.
The Fire Department er7roiis aii newky :rained firefighters in the three year program after their graduation
