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.
