Interested in an apprenticeship?
Whether you are looking for your first job, a better job, or your dream job, the earn-while-you learn model of Registered Apprenticeship can help you get there.
Apprenticeship can be an option for anyone 16 or older. Apprenticeship is for high school students, career-switchers, veterans, returning citizens, differently-abled individuals, those relocating to Virginia, or anyone looking to learn a new skillset or industry while earning a living along the way – in Virginia, apprenticeship is for all.
How Do I Apply?
Apply directly to a sponsor. Registered Apprenticeship is employer driven, meaning you must be hired by an employer sponsor before you can be officially registered as an apprentice. Application requirements will vary by occupation and sponsor.
