The program of study for the first year will be standard for all trainees and will address general knowledge required of all journeymen working in a hydroelectric power plant.

The training program consists of rotational on-the-job training, instruction, text assignments, and Plant Equipment Studies followed by more intensive craft-related training in years two, three, and four.

Related classroom study and on-the-job work assignments are closely coordinated to relate basic theories to practical application of operation and maintenance activities of hydroelectric projects.

Studies and on-the-job assignments are closely and critically reviewed to assure satisfactory performance necessary for continuance in the program.
