An apprenticeship is a program that trains a worker to become skilled in a particular trade. Apprenticeships combine hands-on work with classroom learning to train the apprentice. On-the-job learning from an experienced mentor, combined with education courses to support work-based learning. As the apprentice is learning, they are also applying the lessons through working. Customized training that meets industry standards, tailored to the specific needs of businesses, resulting in highly-skilled employees.
