Apprenticeship is an opportunity to get hands-on training for a high skill job while being employed! It is a great alternative to college. Apprentices earn a salary and benefits as they train; the cost of classroom instruction is covered by the employee. Training is paced to suit individual situations and allows for a healthy work-life balance. At the end of a program, apprentices emerge a highly skilled professional with a sense of job security and an average starting wage of $60,000.
