Apprenticeship is a proven approach for preparing workers for jobs while meeting the needs of business for a highly-skilled workforce. Now more than ever, Americans need educational options and career pathways which are cost effective and oriented to delivering skilled careers and stable employment. While it is used in traditional industries such as construction and manufacturing, apprenticeship is also instrumental for training and development in growing industries, such as information technology, transportation and logistics, and energy. After an intensive bootcamp, apprentices are hired by employers and receive a paycheck from the first day or work.
