Benefits for an Apprentice (provided by U.S. Dept. of Labor)

A paycheck from day one, guaranteed to increase over time as you learn new skills.

Hands-on career training in a wide selection of programs, such as health care, construction, information technology and geospatial careers.

An education and the potential to earn college credit, even an associate or bachelor's degree, in many cases paid for by your employer.

With the high costs of a college education, apprenticeships can be a great option for people at all stages in their lives. If you are graduating from high school, or looking for a career change, but face financial problems, free training can be a great way to find a high paying career.
