Consider an Apprenticeship

An apprenticeship program combines on-the-job and in-school training for employment in a skilled trade. It enables workers to get the workplace and classroom training they need to become certified in their chosen trade.

An apprenticeship is a pathway to a rewarding career in the trades. As an apprentice, you’ll take classes and learn your trade by working under the guidance of experienced workers – and get paid while you do it.
