GACC Midwest’s tailor-made apprenticeship program ICATT (Illinois Consortium for Advanced Technical Training) addresses the needs of companies in Illinois. Their challenge finding a skilled workforce led to the design of this unique training program – a company driven approach to workforce training.
Following the structures and worldwide recognized standards of the German Dual Model, this three-year program combines on-the-job training at companies and theoretical training at a college for the professions of Industrial Maintenance Technician, CNC Machining Professional, Freight Forward & Logistics Agents and many more.
Together with the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association, and Harper College, GACC Midwest formed the Illinois Advanced Apprenticeship Consortium (IAAC) with the purpose to scale the unique ICATT apprenticeship program all over Illinois.
