partnership between PCC and RMSM
Pueblo Community College and Rocky Mountain Steel Mills have worked together to put in-place an
apprenticeship program that supports the need for adding new personnel in the mechanical and
electrical maintenance areas of the mills. The program is spread over four years and is approved by
the Federal Apprenticeship Organization. It requires 2080 hours per year of on-the-job training and
144 hours of academic study to augment the training on the job.
PCC will continue to work jointly with the other 2 Alliance partners in Pueblo: Rocky Mountain Stell
Mills and the Pueblo Safety and Health Promotion Council to deliver relevant trainings to employers
in the Pueblo area. Additionally, PCC will offer support to the new Alliance with Trinidad State
Junior College.
