Using the Meterman Apprenticeship Certification (LINUEAPR)
The Associate in Technical Arts (ATA) degree is awarded for completion of a program of study in technical education, the purpose of which is to prepare students for related employment with skills that meet the needs of the business community.
The Multi-Occupational Trades ATA is a degree pathway for individuals who have completed an approved apprenticeship program through one of Everett CC’s apprenticeship partners.

The program uses the Apprenticeship Hours as the technical body of the degree (equivalent to 60 units). Related instruction includes 30 units earned in communications, human relations, quantitative skills, a designated diversity course not duplicating the previous courses, and SCPUD approved electives.
