Apprenticeships

An apprenticeship is a system for training a new generation of practitioners of a trade or profession with on-the-job training and often some accompanying study. Apprenticeships can also enable practitioners to gain a license to practice in a regulated profession. Upon completion of classroom training, apprentices will be placed with local employers and assigned an on-the-job mentor to hone and perfect their new skills. Below are Apprenticeships offered:

Employers

If you are an employer, benefits of participating in an apprenticeship program include:

• Timely training in specific knowledge that your company needs
• Reduced turnover - more than 90% of apprentices stay with their employer beyond their apprenticeship experience
• Lowers your cost for recruitment and training
• Results in higher productivity
• Develops highly skilled employees - your company provides guidance and mentors so apprentices learn exactly how you want the job done
