Apprenticeship Programs
Apprenticeship programs are occupational training programs that combine on-the-job work experience with technical or classroom study. Such programs develop useful job skills in individuals entering the workforce. These programs address the need for better-trained entry-level workers and help young people make the transition from school to the work world.
