It's a Job. It's an Education. It's a Future.
Hennig’s apprenticeship program is a four year federally administered program through the Rock Valley Tooling & Machining Association (RRVTMA). Participating students will complete 8,000 hours of paid manufacturing training in parallel to schooling at Rock Valley College (RVC), which is also paid for by Hennig.
