Registered Apprenticeship: Earn While You Learn

Transitioning service members often face the challenge of relating their military experience to careers in the private sector. Here's the good news: the earn-while-you-learn model of Registered Apprenticeship offers an excellent opportunity for veterans starting their civilian careers.

Registered Apprenticeships are industry-driven programs that offer a mutually-beneficial arrangement for both employers and employees. Apprentices gain paid work experience, invaluable education and a nationally recognized credential, while employers develop the skills they need for their future workforce.

Apprentices start earning a competitive wage from day one. 90% of apprentices retain employment after completing their program, boasting an average starting salary of $80,000. These programs don't just offer valuable credentials; some even grant college credits or degrees – without the debt. Nationally, there are more than 27,000 Registered Apprenticeship programs spanning a variety of industries, from construction to IT to healthcare.
