Information for Students
An apprenticeship is a structured work-based learning program offering a unique blend of on-the-job learning and classroom instruction. As an apprentice, you’ll gain essential skills, work closely with experienced mentors, and enhance your earning potential as a certified skilled worker - all while earning wages and becoming an integral part of the workforce. This real-world training is complemented by related classes or workshops.
Apprenticeships vary in duration (usually 1 to 5 years) and provide a pathway to expertise in a specific field. Not only do you earn while you learn, but successful completion often leads to recognized credentials and long-term employment opportunities.
Information for Employers
There are supplemental wage funding opportunities to help employers with apprentice wages.
Apprenticeships are employer-driven, meaning businesses help shape the training to match their workforce needs. Over time, apprentices build competency, earn wages, and progress toward career level roles - while employers develop skilled, productive, and loyal employees. By participating, employers can develop job ready IT professionals, reduce hiring risk, and build a sustainable talent pipeline aligned with their technologies, culture, and workforce needs.
