Job Seekers
As an apprentice, you are a full-time employee from day one, with a paycheck and benefits - you'll earn while you learn. As your skills progress, you'll receive regular raises.
During your apprenticeship, you will receive supervision and training from an expert worker, and you will also participate in classroom learning that applies directly to your job. These classes may be provided at your work site or by distance delivery.
Once you complete your apprenticeship, you will receive a credential from the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship, which is recognized nationwide.
