What is Apprenticeship?

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.

Our Apprenticeship Success Coordinator Jennifer Tucker is standing by to connect your business to a pathway to “growing your own” talent through a USDOL Registered Apprenticeship, ensuring individuals complete with a national, industry-recognized credential.
