WHY REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP? Registered apprentices are not just training for a job, they are building a career. Through structured on-the-job training and technical classroom instruction, apprentices learn industry-specific knowledge in high-demand fields while earning a valuable nationally recognized credential. Registered apprenticeship is a powerful employer strategy to recruit, train and retain a highly skilled, productive and diverse workforce.
