What is an Apprenticeship?


Apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and related instruction in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. Apprenticeship programs can be sponsored by individual employers, joint employer and labor groups, and/or employer associations.

Types of Apprenticeships

• Time Based– Apprentices complete a required number of hours in on-

the-job training and related instruction.

• Competency Based– Apprentices progress at their own pace – they demonstrate

competency in skills and knowledge through proficiency tests, but are not required to complete a specific number of hours

• Hybrid– Uses minimum and maximum range of hours and the

successful demonstration of identified and measured competencies.
