What is a Registered Apprenticeship Program?

A registered apprenticeship program is a structured career development initiative driven by industry needs, sanctioned and validated by government entities such as the U.S. Department of Labor or State Apprenticeship Agencies. It offers participants paid work experience, incremental wage increases, classroom education, and the opportunity to earn a nationally recognized credential. These programs aim to meet specific industry demands by equipping apprentices with practical skills and knowledge essential for success in various roles, from entry-level to managerial positions. Registered apprenticeships fulfill the needs of both employers and individuals seeking employment.
