WHY APPRENTICESHIP?

While education is truly a key to success, if you only know about a college path that leads to productive careers, then you only know a small part of the story. There is a better way to attain a quality education that also offers numerous other benefits and the best thing about this opportunity is that it is FREE!

Some of the many benefits of apprenticeship include Veteran’s Administration approved, direct job placement, no dues or tuition fees, a fully accredited training program that can earn college credit, provides correspondence courses with on-the-job training, continually scheduled pay raises. In addition, apprentices are supervised at all times to ensure safe and proper training.

• Apprentices earn and learn on-the-job – This is one of the finest features of the apprenticeship program. The student is able to make a living while they are learning. The more they learn, the more they advance, the greater their earning potential becomes.
• Apprenticeship exposes you to the latest technology and building codes – Another fine aspect of this program is that the student not only has the hands-on skills but also the theory behind it. You will not only learn how to complete a process, but also why it is done that way.
• Apprenticeship offers life-long job mobility through a nationally and federally recognized certification of your skills and abilities.
