What is a Registered Apprenticeship?
Registered Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential. It includes:
-
- Paid Job – Apprentices are paid employees who produce high-quality work while they learn skills that enhance their employers’ needs.
- On-the-Job Learning – Develops skilled workers through structured learning in a work setting.
- Classroom Learning – Improves job-related skills through education in a classroom setting (virtual or in-person).
- Mentorship – Provides apprentices with the support of a skilled worker to assist and enhance critical hands-on learning.
- Credentials – Offers a portable, nationally-recognized credential to be issued at the completion of the program.
