What is Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeship is a combination of trade specific study and on-the-job training.

This is accomplished by utilizing hands-on-experience and trade related instruction. ABC of Alaska's Apprenticeship Program is approved and recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor, Apprenticeship Training Employment and Labor Services (ATELS). Upon completing the required coursework and the on-the-job training, the apprentice will achieve journey-level status in his or her trade, recognized in all fifty states.
