What Is An Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships are the ultimate “earn while you learn” career pathway that bridges the gap between being a student and becoming a professional. It’s a dual-track model where you hold a full-time, paid position with a licensed employer while simultaneously completing comprehensive technical training.

Apprenticeships are standardized programs for individuals looking to get into construction, contracting, or any type of specialized trade. Unlike traditional degree programs, where you wait four years to enter the field, an apprenticeship program kickstarts your career on day one. Working alongside skilled tradespeople, you’ll master the physical craft, then transition to the classroom to study the engineering, code and safety requirements, and theory that make you an expert in your field.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apprenticeships

How long is an apprenticeship program?
Most apprenticeships last between 1 to 6 years, with 4 years being the average for trades like Electrical and Plumbing.
Do I need a degree to start?
No. Most programs require a high school diploma or GED. A pre-apprenticeship is the best way to start if you lack experience.
What is the difference between a pre-apprenticeship and an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a job. A pre-apprenticeship is a training program that prepares you to get that job.
Can I transfer my apprenticeship to another state?
Yes. If you complete a program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, your credentials are "portable," meaning they are recognized in all 50 states.
