01
Begin Transition & Eligibility Review
Service members within 6–12 months of separation complete an initial screening to confirm eligibility for the Robotics Technician (3002) USDOL Registered Apprenticeship.
This is the structured, federally aligned process for a transitioning veteran to become an OPERATION LUV operator and eventual owner.

Veteran Pathway to Ownership
2Apply & Complete Selection Process
Candidates submit required documents, interview, and are ranked using standardized scoring before signing the Apprenticeship Agreement (ETA‑671).
03 Start the Robotics Technician Apprenticeship Veterans begin competency-based training covering robotics safety, PLCs, autonomous food systems, troubleshooting, and documentation. 04 Progress Through OJL Competencies Apprentices master Job Functions 1–6, including installation, programming, maintenance, calibration, and customer communication. 05 Complete Related Instruction Requirements Learners finish 288 hours of classroom instruction in robotics foundations, sensors, food chemistry, compliance, and systems integration. 06 Earn USDOL Robotics Technician Credential Upon demonstrating competency, apprentices receive the nationally recognized Robotics Technician completion certificate. 07 Advance to Operator & Ownership Track Graduates transition into OPERATION LUV operator roles and may enter the ownership pathway with full support in business setup, robotics operations, and modernization deployment.
ROBOTICS TECHNICIAN WAGE SCHEDULE A Fair, Transparent, Federally Aligned Wage Progression The OPERATION LUV Robotics Technician Apprenticeship follows the wage progression established in the U.S. Department of Labor Standards of Apprenticeship. Apprentices earn a progressively increasing wage as they demonstrate mastery of each competency block. This schedule rewards skill, effort, and advancement — not simply time in the program. Journeyworker Rate $33.00 per hour All apprentice wages are calculated as a percentage of this rate. Apprentice Wage Progression Table Level Hours Competency Block Percentage Hourly Wage Level 1 500–1000 Core Competency 1 & 2 50% $16.50/hr Level 2 1000–1500 Core Competency 3 & 4 55% $18.15/hr Level 3 1500–2000 Core Competency 5 & 6 64% $21.12/hr Level 4 2000–4000 Core Competency 6 73% $24.09/hr Completion 4000+ All Competencies 98% $32.34/hr Journeyworker Wage: $33.00/hr How Wage Progression Works 1. Competency‑Based Advancement Apprentices move forward when they demonstrate mastery — not when a clock runs out. This ensures veterans and learners advance at the pace of their skill. 2. Verified by Instructors Each competency block is signed off by an instructor and submitted to the apprenticeship office for federal compliance. 3. Wage Increase Upon Approval Once a competency block is approved, the apprentice’s wage increases immediately according to the schedule. 4. GI Bill® Alignment For eligible veterans, VA payments adjust as the apprentice progresses through wage levels.GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government website at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill. Why This Matters for Transitioning Veterans... This wage schedule provides: Predictability — Veterans know exactly what they will earn at each stage. Fairness — Wage increases are tied to skill, not time. Momentum — Each competency mastered moves the veteran closer to operator and ownership roles. Stability — A federally recognized wage structure supports long‑term career planning. Pathway to Ownership Completing the Robotics Technician apprenticeship positions a transitioning veteran to: Operate OPERATION LUV modernization units Manage robotics systems Integrate drone delivery Lead modernization deployments Enter the OPERATION LUV ownership track This wage schedule is the foundation of the veteran‑to‑owner pipeline.
