Building Futures Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a paid, on-the-job workplace program specific to a particular industry. It is a structured process that combines both hands-on experience and classroom training and instruction.
Benefits of Apprenticeships
Education and Income
Apprenticeships provide both a job and a learning experience, allowing you to gain skills and qualifications for long-term employment while earning a decent wage. Apprentices are often rewarded for progress and improved skills through pay increases.
Hands-on Training & Experience
Rather than sitting in a classroom all day, apprenticeships offer immediate opportunities to apply your knowledge and use your skills in daily practice. This learning-by-doing method can boost your confidence and effectiveness.
Targeted Support
Receive one-on-one learning from skilled professionals and co-workers who can answer your questions, help you perfect your techniques, and guide you on job agreements and industry standards.
Career Advancement
An apprenticeship can help you work toward a promotion without needing to go back to school, providing you with the skills for supervisory roles and increased responsibility.
Higher Wages
Completing an apprenticeship can lead to a higher income than similar job seekers. The average starting salary for apprenticeship graduates is $50,000 per year.
Earned Credential
Graduating from an apprenticeship program earns you a certified credential recognized by employers across the United States, making your skills transferable nationwide.
