DISCUSSION
The Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, U S Department of Labor, provides funds for local
apprenticeship training and on-the job training programs.
In Texas, the firefighter apprenticeship program is funded through the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board and is administered locally by the Tarrant County College The intent of the
program is to teach a set of standardized skills to firefighters across the country
Funding is based on the number of enrollees in the program and the number of contact hours received
by each enrollee. Approved expenditures of apprenticeship funds include instructional salaries,
instructional materials/supplies, instructional equipment, rental, office supplies, postage and travel
The Fort Worth Fire Department enrolls each newly trained firefighter in the three-year program after
their graduation from the department's Training Academy Each participant is required to complete a
written lesson and become proficient in a particular firefighting skill each month of the three-year lesson
cycle. The lessons and skills are taught by each fire station officer, and each participant is evaluated
every six months by Training Academy staff
The Fire Department will use these funds to purchase instructional equipment for use in delivering
training programs.
