Registered Apprenticeships are jobs. A Registered Apprenticeship is the process of learning a skilled occupation through paid on-the-job training under the supervision of a journey level craftperson or trade professional combined with related classroom instruction.

• A career, once the apprenticeship is complete, on your way to a successful long-term career with a competitive salary and little or no educational debt.
• National industry certification upon graduation, recognized and accepted by industry partners across the United States.
