Multi-Occupational Trades (MOT)
Associate in Applied Science
Two-year Degree
90 Units
This program is composed of a combination of the technical skills obtained in a registered apprenticeship on-the-job training (OJT) program of at least 6,000 clock hours and the completion of a minimum of 450 clock hours of registered apprenticeship related supplemental instruction (RSI) certified by a Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC), under the jurisdiction of the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and the Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council (WASTC); or under the jurisdiction of a State Approving Agency (SAA) or the US Department of Labor. The OJT and RSI hours must be certified by the program through a letter to the credential evaluator.
This program prepares students both for employment and promotion in STEM fields as well as for entry into applied baccalaureate degree programs. This structure provides incumbent workers with the flexibility to grow their skills in their current field, while increasing their earnings potential and preparing them for baccalaureate-level work if desired. Industry analysis demonstrates continuing high demand in the Seattle metro area for STEM fields, occupations accessible to graduates of the Multi-Occupational Trades program.
