What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a career path that follows a paid period of educational and on-the-job training that allows you to learn the ins and outs of a trade. 

Why an apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships offer a structured learning model, with a set number of hours learning in the classroom and training on-the-job with an employer. Most importantly, you earn wages and benefits starting on the first day of training, and will finish your apprenticeship with little to no student debt.

What are the benefits of an apprenticeship?

Aside from earning while you learn, apprenticeships lead to a career and offer mentors and hands-on learning you may not find otherwise. Upon completing the apprenticeship, you will graduate with journey-level status and numerous career opportunities.
