Adult Education
Bruce Bosselman, Coordinator General Information REGISTRATION: Registration for related instruction and adult education at CATEC normally occurs at the beginning of each semester in August and January. Notices are sent to sponsors, the course catalog is mailed to current and prospective students, and ads are placed in the local newspapers and other media. Registration for modules of instruction will begin at least two weeks prior to the start of the semester. Each semester lasts for 15 weeks. FEES & BOOK COSTS: Fees are due at the time of registration. In addition, certain courses require the purchase of books and other material. Adult education fees are assessed for each individual course offering. *Payment for tuition and book costs may be made:
A minimum base number of students is required for each class to be held. In the event that there are not enough students enrolled in a class to operate, on the last day of the scheduled registration those classes will be canceled and applicants will be notified and offered the opportunity to take another class. Should there be no interest in another class, tuition will be refunded. *Full refunds are given if the course is cancelled or the student notifies the Adult Education office of their intent to drop the class one week prior to the first class meeting. Refunds are not provided after the first class meeting. SCHOOL CLOSING POLICIES/SNOW DAYS: CATEC adult programs will be canceled independent of County or City schools. The announcements will be made on the radio and television and will state "Evening Classes at CATEC will not be held". A voice message will be recorded on the CATEC phone (434) 973-1945 with a snow closing or emergency information. Instructors will inform students at the beginning of the course when evening classes are scheduled. OTHER POLICIES: SMOKING: CATEC is a tobacco-free property. Smoking or the use of any other tobacco products are not allowed anywhere on CATEC grounds. DINING: There are designated break areas where eating and drinking normally take place. If the instructor allows food and/or drink in the classroom/shop/bay/laboratory, it is the responsibility of the instructor and students to ensure the area is left clean at the end of class. This privilege may be revoked when standards of cleanliness are not met. CHILDREN AND VISITORS: Children are not allowed in the classroom, shops, bays or laboratory areas of CATEC. All visitors should report to the office. The secretary or coordinator will page or notify the individual requested. Apprenticeship Program The purpose of this page is to provide an overview of the Apprenticeship Program at Charlottesville/Albemarle Technical Education Center (CATEC). WHAT IS APPRENTICESHIP? Apprenticeship is a voluntary system of on-the-job training (OJT) and related classroom training. All parties involved must cooperate in setting up an Apprenticeship in order for an individual to become registered. The first requirement is to be employed full-time in the trade or craft of interest. The employer must also be willing to serve as an Apprenticeship sponsor. The Apprenticeship field representative with the Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI), the registering agency, will visit the work-site and complete the necessary documents for registration. The related instruction coordinator will then be contacted by the field representative to list the individual as a registered apprentice. APPRENTICESHIP MANAGEMENT: CATEC, located in Charlottesville, Virginia and is one of sixteen (16) Apprenticeship regional related instruction centers throughout the state of Virginia. The centers are charged and contracted by the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) with the responsibility for providing the Apprenticeship related instruction (ARI) portion of Apprenticeship training under the State Apprenticeship Act. The State Apprenticeship Council establishes policies governing the state Apprenticeship Program. ARI at CATEC is coordinated by an Apprenticeship coordinator. Oversight of the program is provided by the Regional Apprenticeship Advisory Committee. The committee reports quarterly to the VCCS relative to the progress and activities of the Apprenticeship Program at CATEC. CATEC also receives support and recommendations from craft advisory committees regarding the currency and relevance of curriculum and instructional material for specific trades. CATEC serves the City of Charlottesville and the Counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, Orange and Culpeper. Adult Education students may take Apprenticeship related instruction courses for the appropriate fees shown in the course catalog. Any course taken in this manner may be counted toward the ARI requirement should an individual decide to become an apprentice.
