Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships

Training that works!

What they are

Apprenticeships combine classroom instruction with on-the-job training, providing apprentices with a steady income, industry-driven skills, and in many cases, free tuition. And employers with a stronger, more diverse workforce.

Apprentices must be sponsored by a company, which provides training at its facility. To become registered, apprenticeships must meet the guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

The college serves as an educational partner in the development and coordination of registered apprenticeships, providing the coursework that complements the on-the-job training and serving as an ongoing resource for students, apprentices and employers.
