Apprenticeships

What is an Apprenticeship?

A registered apprenticeship is an employer-driven model that combines on-the-job learning with related classroom instruction that increases an apprentice’s skill level and wages. 

Classroom instruction is tailored to a company's specific technologies, processes, and culture. Whether you are a new hire or current employee, your apprenticeship training curriculum is tailored to your specific position and the technologies you need for success.

Apprenticeship IS NOT the same as Internship

Apprenticeships and internships are not the same thing. From their purpose, length of time, pay structure, employee status and other elements - these programs have differences that employers and candidates need to be aware of.
