Hands on experience with Apprenticeships

You can get job training while earning a good income, and receive the classroom instruction you need to succeed. Apprenticeships are a smart way to enter well-paying jobs in growing fields, such as advanced
manufacturing, HVAC and automotive. They're even expanding into other in-demand fields, including information technology, cybersecurity, and business. Apprenticeship programs are sponsored by employers, employer groups, and trade associations. The employers provide the on-the-job training while often partnering with local colleges to deliver the classroom
instruction.

Classroom work is completed at the same time apprentices are actually
working in the field. This allows them to immediately apply the knowledge
gained in the classroom to a real-world setting.

Upon completion of the program, students receive a nationally
recognized industry credential validating their proficiency.

As employees of the companies that sponsor their apprenticeship,
apprentices receive incremental raises and in many cases, company
benefits.
