Apprenticeship Programs
An apprenticeship is a training program where you earn wages while you learn a skilled profession in a specific field, such as construction, health care, or culinary arts. Apprenticeship combines classroom studies with on-the-job training supervised by a trade professional. Much like a college education, it takes several years to become fully trained in the occupation you choose. Unlike college though, as an apprentice you’ll earn while you learn.
At first, you’ll make less money than skilled workers, but as you progress, you’ll get regular raises. Once you’ve mastered the craft, you receive the same wages as a professional. Many apprenticeship programs are a part of a union, as an apprentice, you would have all of the benefits of that union, usually this means health benefits, paid vacation time, union job placement, and competetive wages.
Some apprenticeship programs start out paying at least $15.00 per hour! Most of them require that you are over 18, have a driver's license and insurance, and have your high school diploma or GED. Many of them also want you to show that you have demonstrated that you can hold a job for a period of time.
Apprenticeship programs are great for people that like to learn by doing. There are apprenticeship programs for just about every job you can think of. In Snohomish County, popular programs are offered through Boeing, PUD, and lots more.
