Basic Apprenticeship Resource Model

• Tuition pays for tools for participant, some prototyping materials, facility improvements, and 3 month runway.
• Worst case design:
  • $12/hr and 3000 hours means 15 days of work, 200 hours each, done over 3 months. 3000 hours at $12=$36k in build time.
  • Stipend allowable per apprentice: $12k per month of crew, $500/apprentice/month
  • 15 days of work over 3 months is low, with 10 hour per week rate. Can increase 3x to match industry standards for hours worked while in college
  • At industry standard rate - we are at $1500/month stipend, competitive with lower end of graduate student stipend [1]
