Shelton State’s Practical Nursing Apprenticeship with Bibb Medical Center

Shelton State Community College Practical Nursing (PN) on the Bibb County Medical Center Campus has partnered with Bibb Medical Center to create the Bibb Medical PN Apprenticeship Program.  Students interested in this apprenticeship must meet the following criteria:

• Student applicants must apply and be admitted to the PN Nursing Program on the Bibb County Medical Center Campus.
• Applicants must be eligible to take NUR 113 Nursing Concepts I in their spring semester.

Bibb Medical Center will select and hire apprentices based on the number of open positions that are available. Upon selection, students will sign an apprenticeship agreement and must agree to the following:

• Student apprentices must apply to the Alabama Board of Nursing for an apprentice permit.
• Student apprentices will work one-on-one with experienced nurses who will serve as their journeyworker.

It is against the law for a sponsor of an apprenticeship program registered for Federal purposes to discriminate an apprenticeship applicant or apprentice based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age (40 years or older), genetic information, or disability. The sponsor must ensure equal opportunity regarding all terms, conditions, and privileges associated with apprenticeship. If you think that you have been subjected to discrimination, you may file a complaint within 300 days from the date of the alleged discrimination or failure to follow the equal opportunity standards with Josh Laney with the Alabama Office of Apprenticeship located at One Technology Court, Montgomery, Alabama 36116. Phone number is 334.280.4414 and email address is info@alapprentice.org. You may also be able to file complaints directly with the EECO, or state fair employment practices agency. If those offices have jurisdiction over the sponsor/employer, their contact information is listed below. The EEOC can be reached at 1.800.669.4000.
