Work plus class
Most programs set a number of on-the-job hours alongside classroom or online study. The split varies by trade, from electricians to medical assistants.
Pay that steps up
Many programs use a wage schedule that rises as skills are signed off, so pay grows during the program.
Who sponsors them
Employers, unions and industry groups sponsor programs. The public Apprenticeship.gov finder lists registered openings.
Questions to ask
Ask a sponsor how long the program lasts, what the classroom part costs, if anything, and what credential you leave with.
