Vermont Community Broadband Board Sponsoring New Session of Broadband Technician Apprenticeship/Pre-Apprenticeship Training

The Vermont Community Broadband Board is sponsoring a new session of its Broadband Technician Apprenticeship/Pre-Apprenticeship Training in partnership with North Country Career Center. It will be comprehensive training for an entry level broadband network technician. The three-week course will be offered in Montpelier starting September 17, 2025, and is available to participants at no cost. This is the fourth session of the training and is scheduled as Vermont is ready to make the final push on the state’s broadband buildout. An additional $229 million in federal funding from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program is on the way to the state, construction is scaling up, and more workers are needed.
