The TIRAP’s basic apprenticeship is the occupation of Telecommunication Tower Technician (“TTT”). A TTT is a member of a crew performing general construction activities with an emphasis on tower system installation and maintenance/inspection of existing support structures used in the provision of telecommunication systems, including personal wireless communications, public safety communications, utility networks, and broadcasting.

The apprenticeship utilizes a hybrid approach that measures the individual apprentice’s skill acquisition through a combination of specified minimum number of hours of on-the-job learning and the successful demonstration of competency in a variety of skills and safety protocols as described in a work process. The work process developed by the TIRAP draws from current regulations and industry standards and generally-accepted best practices to outline the necessary competencies that must be mastered by the apprentice in order to be credentialed as TTT.

The apprenticeship program continues to be expanded to provide for development of subject matter expertise and opportunity for career advancement.
