Apprenticeship combines classroom studies with on-the-job training supervised by a trade professional. Much like a college education, it can take a few years to graduate. But unlike college, as an apprentice you’ll earn while you learn. Once you’ve mastered the occupation, you’ll earn the same wages as a professional.
Apprentices enrolled in a registered apprenticeship program: start earning right away, learn business and job skills for leadership and management opportunities and have no student loans to pay off when they graduate, and have a jump start in their career. Below are some helpful links to learn more and explore about apprenticeships in Washington
