SCCAP is an industry-driven apprenticeship program led by a consortium of advanced manufacturers in the Space, Aerospace, Aviation, and Defense industries, with a focus on implementing world-class apprenticeship programs in occupations that require higher levels of education to perform in today’s competitive advanced manufacturing environment.

Our Focus

Automated manufacturing processes including
CNC, mechatronics, robotics, additive
manufacturing, IT, Cybersecurity and other
cyber-physical environments related to globally
competitive Industry 4.0 technologies.

We believe that in order for our U.S. Space,
Aerospace, Aviation, and Defense industries to
maintain global competitiveness, it is critical that
apprenticeships and other work-based learning
