Why Apprenticeships?
Hands-On Experience
Start learning on the job from day one. Apprenticeships give you real-world experience, working alongside industry professionals while building practical skills and confidence.
Industry-Recognized Certifications
Earn respected credentials that prove you’re trained and job-ready. These certifications help you stand out and move forward in competitive industries.
A Clear Career Path
Apprenticeships offer more than a job; they provide a path. With built-in wage increases, mentorship, and growth opportunities, you’ll advance with purpose.

The Traditional Method
Apprenticeships are widely known in construction and union trades, but they're not limited to those fields. You can find apprenticeships across the nation in almost any sector. The U.S. Department of Commerce says, “The skilled trades that support our nation’s construction industry still represent the core of American apprenticeships, but many other industries, like healthcare and information technology (IT), are adopting apprenticeships to create a skilled workforce for jobs they cannot otherwise fill easily, if at all.”
Achieving economic stability often means balancing a job for today and a career path for tomorrow. Apprenticeships provide the best of both worlds. They offer a structured job, even if you're new to the field, coupled with a clear, guided journey to expertise. As you gain knowledge and skills, your wages increase, laying a solid foundation for your future.
I am willing and available for work, but I don't have the skills to get me where I want to go.
I need some help getting on my feet. ​
I don't have the financial means to participate in an education program without pay.​
