5. What Is An Apprenticeship?
Employer-driven, “learn-while-you-earn” model that combines on-the-job training, provided by the
employer that hires the apprentice.
Job-related instruction in curricula tied to the attainment of national skills standards.
Apprenticeship is a flexible training strategy that can be customized to meet the needs of any business.
Apprentices can be new hires, or businesses can select current employees who need skill upgrades to
join the apprenticeship program.
While it is used in traditional industries such as construction and manufacturing, apprenticeship is also
instrumental for training and development in growing industries, such as health care, information
technology, transportation and logistics, and energy.

Department of Labor, or with a DOL recognized State Apprenticeship Agency.
A registered apprenticeship is a nationally-recognized credential from the U.S.
Department of Labor.
Registration means the program has met national and independent standards for
quality and rigor.
Registration tells prospective employees, customers and suppliers that the business
invests in its workforce and believes employees are its most important asset.
The benefits of a Registered Apprenticeship means that employers in the industry
will recognize its value and the apprentice can build on its foundation to further their
knowledge and education.
