Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship
Registered Apprenticeship programs combines supervised on-the-job training with technical classroom instruction in subjects related to the apprentice’s chosen occupation. The apprentice has the opportunity to earn a living while gaining skills, and pay raises are awarded throughout the program as skills increase. Apprenticeship has been proven to be a very successful strategy for preparing skilled workers.
Apprenticeship programs are operated by both the public and private sector. Those entities offering an apprenticeship program are called sponsors, and may be an employer, employer association, or labor union. Recently, community colleges, workforce development centers, and faith and community-based organizations have collaborated with businesses and industries to develop Registered Apprenticeship programs through sponsoring employer-participation agreements. The sponsor of an apprenticeship program plans, administers and usually pays for the program.
What Is a Union Apprenticeship?
What Is a Union Apprenticeship?
A union apprenticeship is a training program sponsored by a labor union that is designed to qualify participants for jobs as electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, and skilled labor positions. An apprenticeship mixes classroom instruction related to your duties with on-the-job training with more experienced tradesmen. As an apprentice, you must complete a standard number of hours of both to complete your program. After you complete an apprenticeship, you can work as a journey worker in your field, which means you can take on more responsibilities, work without supervision or with minimal supervision, and contract on your own.
