Apprenticeship
The Apprenticeship program serves employers and job seekers by training workers for well-paying jobs with promising futures. Apprentices are full-time, paid employees who earn while they learn.
Apprenticeship combines paid on-the-job training under the supervision of experienced journey workers with related classroom instruction. Most registered apprenticeship training programs last from three to five years as determined by industry standards.
All apprenticeship training programs and apprentices must be registered with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship.
