What is an apprenticeship?

  • A registered apprenticeship is a combination of classroom and on-the-job training that prepares a person for a U.S. Dept. of Labor job title.
  • Apprentices take college classes at a community college while working with a mentor on the job to learn a checklist of skills applicable to their job.
  • Every job title requires a certain number of classroom hours and a certain number of on the job training hours.

How do you know if the apprenticeship program is right for you? 

While the Apprenticeship 321 program offers students opportunities across a range of fields, there are some general characteristics that you can use as a guide to know if you will be happy and successful in an apprenticeship.

  • Do you enjoy science, or math, or technology?
  • Do you like to work with others on a team?
  • Do you like working with your hands?

If you can answer yes to these questions, an apprenticeship may be just the path for you!
