Explore Community College Apprenticeship Programs
Community and technical colleges are an important part of America's apprenticeship and workforce-training system.
Colleges may provide Related Technical Instruction (RTI) for Registered Apprenticeships, award college credit, partner with apprenticeship sponsors and employers, offer pre-apprenticeship programs, or provide other career training and paid work-based learning pathways.
Explore community college apprenticeship resources to learn which colleges support apprenticeship, how college instruction connects with paid employment, and what questions to ask before choosing a program.
Important: In many Registered Apprenticeships, the employer or apprenticeship sponsor provides the apprenticeship job while the college provides some or all of the related instruction. Applying to a college program does not necessarily mean you have applied for an apprenticeship job.

What Is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is an earn-and-learn career pathway that combines paid work with structured training and education.
Instead of completing all of your training before entering an occupation, apprenticeship allows you to develop skills while working.
Registered Apprenticeships typically include:
- Paid employment
- Structured on-the-job learning
- Related classroom or technical instruction
- Training with experienced workers or mentors
- Progressive skill and wage development
- An industry-recognized credential
Apprenticeship opportunities can be found across a growing range of occupations and industries.
