APPRENTICESHIP, IT IS A CAREER CHOICE & COMMITMENT:

Apprenticeship combines classroom studies with on-the-job training under the supervision of a journey level craft person or trade professional. Apprenticeship programs are a proven success. They offer key benefits not normally found in other education and job training programs.

  • You earn while you learn - earning a living wage with health care, retirement and other benefits while learning skills in the trade
  • Wages increase progressively as your skill level increases both in the classroom and on the job.
