Apprenticeship Resources
Apprenticeships are some of the oldest job training programs. They provide work-based training, classroom instruction, and mentorship. They pay a competitive wage with a career path. Apprenticeships use to focus on trades like construction and manufacturing. Now apprenticeships have spread into the fields of healthcare, information technology, transportation, and energy production.
Apprenticeships are a great alternative to college or employment directly after high school. For some individuals, post-secondary education may not be a good option; but without additional training, it is difficult to have a successful career. Apprenticeships allow people to pursue specialized training with a path to a good job
The resources below provide information about available programs, creating new apprenticeships, benefits for apprentices, and ways to find programs.
