Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships

"Learn While You Earn" is the apprenticeship tag line.  Trades are earning excellent wages and are in high demand at this time, and into the foreseeable future.  A lot of apprenticeships are in the construction trades but can be found in many areas, even dog grooming!

You start as an apprentice and through work-based learning and education, you become a journeyman tradesperson.  In an apprenticeship, you will find a job with a company that has an apprenticeship program and is willing to train you.  They will pay you for your work and provide an experienced journeyman tradesperson for you to work and learn under.  You will also have to take some coursework to complement what you are learning on the job.  The duration of an apprenticeship depends on the trade; it can be one to four years. 

Good places to start exploring and learning about apprenticeships are at the following apprenticeship webpages:
