Pathway - Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a hands-on training program for people who want to work in a skilled trade and enjoy learning by doing. Apprenticeship training allows a person to learn the skills while working with qualified trades people. Some training takes place in a classroom but a majority of the training occurs in the actual workplace. These trades often pay very well because of the skills required of the worker. A person taking apprenticeship training is called an apprentice.
