Work-Based Learning
Apprenticeship/Internship opportunities link secondary education, post-secondary education, business, industry, and government together to provide a seamless career path for high school students. Well-planned and supervised school-based and work-based learning experiences are the foundation for the program. The Apprenticeship program allows students to work and earn a paycheck - while learning skills and earning the certifications that employers want. Registered Apprenticeship provides more than 500,000 apprentices across the U.S. with industry-specific education, on-the-job training, nationally recognized certifications, and guaranteed wage increases. Apprenticeships have a defined timeline of training over 2-4 years, while internships do not have the timeline and do not need to be registered.
