What Is
Apprenticeship? Check out our
Photo album
The apprentice learns the skills of the trade through on the job
training, working alongside an experienced journeyman who passes on
the skills that he or she has learned over the years. In addition to
the on the job training the apprentice receives related classroom
instruction that produces competency and pride that leads to
becoming a true craftsman.

Another true advantage to apprenticeship is you
earn while you learn.
Apprentices start earning a livable wage as soon as they start
working. They receive pay advancements through out their
apprenticeship based on performance. |
