Apprenticeship programs offered at Salt Lake Community College are two-part. Firstly, on-the-job training is provided by a sponsor who exposes the apprentice to practical applications in all phases of a particular craft.

Secondly, classroom-related instruction is designed to provide the apprentice with knowledge of theoretical and technical aspects of their craft. Total completion of an apprenticeship program may take up to five years, depending upon the craft.

The Division of Technical Specialties provides students the following programs:
