NY State Trade Apprenticeships
Do you...

Have a good mechanical aptitude?
Want a career, not just a job?
An Apprenticeship is the process of learning a skilled trade through on-the-job training (hands-on experience) plus related classroom education.
As an apprentice, you are a paid employee. Your wages usually start at a percentage of the skilled worker (journeyworker) wage rate with set increases until your training is finished.
Then, you earn the full journeyworker wages. Training is guided by an experienced journeyworker. It can last from one to five years, depending on the trade.
Pre-Apprenticeship Programs/Direct Entry Programs
Pre-apprenticeship is a program or set of services designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in a Registered Apprenticeship program. ... Pre apprenticeships help individuals meet the entry requirements for apprenticeship programs and ensure they are prepared to be successful in their apprenticeship.
