If arriving by NJ Transit please utilize the Montclair Heights stop on the Montclair-Boonton train line. Shuttles will be running from the station to the event.

Thanks to the support of our partners across industry, academics, and government, our host companies will be training apprentices in the field of Mechatronics beginning this August.  The robust training program will blend on-the-job learning with debt-free Associates Degree studies and culminate with certification recognized by industry, the US DOL, and the German registering authority (DIHK).

Join us and meet our inaugural Apprenticeship class. We are excited for the career path our Apprentices are embarking on and congratulate them on this meaningful step.

The GACC Apprenticeship NJ Launch is a part of the “Year of German-American Friendship” initiative in 2018/19. The „Year of German-American Friendship“ is a comprehensive and collaborative initiative of the Federal Foreign Office, the Goethe-Institut, and with support of the Federation of German Industries (BDI), highlighting the decades long relationship grounded in common values, interests, and goals.
