DOT’s Highway Maintenance Apprenticeship Program offers two years of paid mentorship, classroom and hands-on training to prepare you for a meaningful career in public safety. Full benefits are provided. The intent of this trainee position is to help you get your CDL and the two years of equipment operation/physical labor experience required for our Highway Maintenance Specialist position.
Apprentices will earn their Commercial Driver’s License and the requirements to qualify for a Highway Maintenance Specialist position at one of our many locations across Colorado. Candidates may be eligible for a pay increase upon successful completion of one year of the apprenticeship and CDL licensure (if hired at LTC Trainee IV). At the end of the apprenticeship, candidates are encouraged to apply for our fully-operational Highway Maintenance Specialist positions with another increase in pay upon promotion and opening up additional opportunities for advancement in both our leadership and technical tracks as their career progresses.
This is a term limited position and employment cannot be guaranteed beyond two years, although at the end of the two year term, apprentices are encouraged to apply for permanent employment as a fully operational Highway Maintenance Specialist. If upon hire, a candidate has prior experience or a CDL, they may be able to complete the program before two years. If selected as an apprentice, you will be required to sign a waiver of retention rights.
The Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) is nationally recognized and registered with the United States Department of Labor. This apprenticeship program, lasting up to two years will provide in-depth training (both on the job and classroom) to prepare participants for the fully operational Highway Maintenance Specialist position. Apprentices will be assigned, one on one, to a seasoned maintenance professional as a mentor for the duration of the program. Upon successful completion, participants will receive national certification. For more information on apprenticeships in Colorado, go to
