How Apprenticeships Work

Earn a paycheck from day one

1

Apply to a program

Search above and apply directly to a sponsor — a union, employer, or joint apprenticeship committee. Most require a basic aptitude test and background check.

2

Start earning immediately

Your first paycheck comes week one. Starting wages are typically 40–50% of journeyman scale and increase every 6–12 months automatically.

3

Learn on the job + in class

Registered apprenticeships combine paid on-the-job training with related technical instruction — usually evenings or weekends. No tuition.

4

Earn your journeyman card

After 3–5 years you receive a nationally recognized credential. Journeyman electricians, plumbers, and pipefitters earn $60K–$100K+.
