What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a structured career pathway where individuals earn while they learn. Participants work in a paid job while receiving classroom instruction and hands-on training under the guidance of a mentor. Apprenticeships lead to industry-recognized credentials that confirm skills and prepare individuals for long-term success in high-demand industries.
- A Registered Apprenticeship is a formal program that meets national and state standards for quality. Employers set skill requirements, and completers earn a credential recognized across the industry.
- A Pre-Apprenticeship prepares individuals to enter a Registered Apprenticeship. These programs help participants meet entry requirements and build foundational skills, often serving under-represented job seekers.
