Who is Registered Apprenticeship For?

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 is open to anyone the age of 16 or older. Apprenticeship is for High School students, career-switchers, veterans, military dependents, business start-ups, returning citizens, emerging industries, dislocated workers, expanding companies, immigrants, individuals with disabilities, family businesses, relocating corporations, low-income individuals – all who wish to contribute are welcome. Most industries support occupations that are considered “apprenticeable”.
