Why Choose Apprenticeship?
Registered apprenticeship is a state agreement between an employee and employer who needs a skilled worker and an individual (the apprentice) who wants to “earn while learning” a skilled occupation. If you are currently employed as a tradesman or skilled technician, talk to your employer today about the benefits of participating in the apprenticeship program. As part of the program, apprentices take trade specific classes to earn the necessary classroom hours required to complete the apprenticeship.
