What are Apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships are full-time employment opportunities with paid, on-the-job training. They can be registered (formal, multi-year, government approved) or unregistered (employer sponsored, with a range of the amount and type of training offered). It is important to explore both options to make informed career decisions. There are many quality unregistered apprenticeships, though sometimes they are more similar to paid, work-based learning.
Registered Apprenticeships are multi-year, Federal and State approved full-time employment training program, with paid on-the-job training alongside a skilled mentor, and substantial classroom instruction. Guaranteed wages that increase over time. A nationally recognized credential is awarded at completion of program. Prepares apprentice for a successful career in their chosen field. High school diploma or GED required.
What are Internships?
Internships are short-term (weeks to months), work-based learning experiences, lasting weeks or months. Most often offered to current high school or college students. There is no formal expectation of full-time employment after completion of an internship program, but job offer opportunities are common. Co-op internships are longer in duration (months, years, multiple semesters) and often involve alternating between school and work. Co-op internships often lead to full-time employment offers.
