Apprenticeship Student Resources

An apprentice is someone who is learning a trade by working under the guidance of skilled workers, called journeyworkers. On-the-job training is part ofall apprenticeships.  You earn while you learn and are paid a wage from the first day you're hired. You're making money at no cost to you for the training.  In addition to the on-the-job training, you will attend related and supplemental instruction in the classroom.
