Trades apprenticeship applications open in Portland (update)

I heard of an apprenticeship with paid on-the-job training for people changing careers. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. Classes are in the evening and work is during the day. What do you wish you had known?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

The aptitude test was mostly maths and reading a diagram. Free practice tests online were enough for me.
