ApprenticeshipsApprenticeships provide free hands on training the leads to a career.

Many apprenticeships have two components of training. One is class based where you attend a class one or two days a week to learn about the trade that you are studying. The second part of the training is going to work where you are paid on a scale based on your level of apprenticeship.

You work on a full time job with other experienced workers who help you to learn how to perform the job better and better. As you gain more experience and training your pay goes up.

Some apprenticeships are sponsored by the employer and some are supported by a trade union.

The apprenticeship last about four years. At the end of your apprenticeship you will have a high paying job and no debt to pay off.

“Colleges I’m thinking about list”As you are researching colleges, be sure to consider multiple criteria - cost, admission rates, requirements, location, majors available, size, student life – to help you determine a possible good fit.

Your college list should include a broad range of schools, mostly✓“Safety” Schools – preparation well exceeds admission requirements & costs

✓“Match” Schools – preparation meets or exceeds admission requirements & costs

And a few…✓“Reach” Schools- admission is very competitive regardless of student preparation (historically low admission rates); student does not meet or exceed requirements or the school’s cost exceeds your college budget
