Choosing a career in the trades can be highly rewarding. Apprenticeships are a combination of on-the-job training along with classroom studies, all while earning a wage. Yes, that's correct, you earn as you learn! Apprentices can also earn academic credit toward a college degree, or a nationally recognized credential within their industry (depending upon the program). This credential allows an apprentice to provide documentation to a potential employer verifying qualifications.
