| Apprenticeship Overview
Apprenticeships are industry-driven, high-quality career pathways where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential.
| Key Components
• Business Involvement – Employers are the foundation of every Registered Apprenticeship program.
• On the Job Learning/Work Experience – apprentices receive on-the-job training from an experienced mentor.
• Related Instruction – Apprentices combine on-the-job learning with technical education at Northwest State Community College.
• Rewards for Skill Gains – Apprentices receive progressively advancing skills and receive rewards as goals are met.
• National Occupational Credential – Apprenticeship programs result in a nationally recognized credential, which provides a guarantee to employers that apprentices are fully qualified for the job.
