Registered Apprenticeship provides paid, relevant work experience, related classroom instruction, and national credentials employers value.
Registered Apprentices are attractive to today’s employers because they learn the precise skills needed to help employers succeed. At the same time, apprentices can gain college credit, industry certifications and above-average wages.
The use of the Registered Apprenticeship training model is expanding across both traditional and nontraditional industries into more than 7,200 occupations, including careers in advanced manufacturing, agriculture, construction, education, energy, healthcare, information technology, mobility, and many others.
If you’re looking for a flexible career path that will allow you to avoid or minimize tuition debt, get a foot in the door at a progressive company, or even change careers, Registered Apprenticeship may be a great option for you!
Registered Apprenticeships can help create opportunities for career advancement as you:
Registered Apprenticeship is an “earn-and-learn” model that provides technical classroom instruction to complement hands-on experience where you get to put your knowledge into action.
It is a career pathway with minimal or no student loan debt to worry about.
A mentor will guide you as you learn your industry, with progressive wage increases as your skills increase throughout the program.
Upon completion, you will attain a nationally recognized credential as proof of your completion of a Registered Apprenticeship Program — and your subject matter expertise in your occupation.
Only apprenticeship programs officially registered through the U.S. Department of Labor are recognized nationally — and result in a USDOL Certificate of Completion, a nationally recognized industry credential. Additionally, Registered Apprentices have access to state and federal resources.
Are you a veteran or a member of the National Guard or Reserve looking for a new and rewarding career opportunity? Because many Registered Apprenticeships are approved for GI Bill® funding, you could qualify to receive support for housing, tuition, books and supplies in addition to your apprenticeship wages.
Be sure to identify yourself as a veteran or service member when you contact your local Michigan Works! Apprenticeship Success Coordinator.
More information about your benefits and Registered Apprenticeship opportunities is available on the USDOL's ApprenticeshipUSA website.
