Apprenticeships

An apprentice is someone who learns a skilled trade on the job under the direction of more experienced workers.

Apprentices are employees and earn a salary while they learn a skilled trade. Apprentices also complete classroom instruction offered at a community college as a part of their training.

The duties of an apprentice become more complex as their skills improve. Upon successful completion of the trade requirements, apprentices earn a Certificate of Apprenticeship or a Certificate of Qualification (“ticket”) that allows them to work on their own at a higher rate of pay.
