Registered Apprenticeship

 

Employer-driven model that combines on-the-job learning with related classroom instruction that increases an apprentice’s skill level and wages 

It is a proven solution for businesses to recruit, train, and retain highly skilled workers. Registered Apprenticeship is not just for the private sector – many federal government agencies, including the US military, have apprenticeship programs.

Flexible training strategy that can be customized to meet the needs of every business. It can be integrated into the current training and human resource development strategies


Apprentices can be new hires – or businesses can select current employees to join the program. Registered Apprenticeships are a good way to reward high-performing entry-level employees and move them up the career ladder within the business. 

An “earn-and-learn” model – apprentices receive a paycheck from day one, so they earn wages while they learn on the job.
