Apprenticeship: Work and Learn

What is Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeship is the intentional combination of education and real work experience. It provides structured on-the-job training and is a proven way to provide a pipeline for hard-to-fill positions and to prepare individuals for successful careers. Apprentices earn progressive wages and nationally recognized credentials from the United States Department of Labor.

Traditionally, apprenticeships were associated with manufacturing and building trades. In recent years, the approach has evolved to address workforce gaps experienced by employers across all industries.
