Apprenticeship Program
For Employers:
- benefit both employers & employees- grant program begins summer 2022- build a talent pipeline- cover costs of salary apprentices- offset cost of insurance, training, uniforms, etc.
For Apprentices:
- grant program begins summer 2022- funds may cover tuition, fees, & books- earn progressive wages- learn valuable skills- obtain nationally recognized credentials
The word internship is often mistakenly used in place of apprenticeship. They are not the same. Internships are typically short-term offerings that allow students to explore occupations. Employers offering internships often do not have structured training in place or positions to offer interns upon completion of their internship. Interns also do not receive nationally recognized credentials upon completing the internship.
