Apprenticeship is an employer’s training
program. It is a time-honored program
combining on-the-job training (OTJ) with related instruction (RI). The result is a skilled craftsperson. When you complete both on-the-job training
and related instruction, you become a registered apprentice. Registered
apprentices completing a full program receive a State Apprenticeship
Certificate upon completion. This certificate
is nationally recognized. Over 300
employers sponsor more than 1,200 apprentices in
