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 to 50% of journeyman scale and increase every 6 to 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 to 5 years you receive a nationally recognized credential. Journeyman electricians, plumbers, and pipefitters earn $60K-$100K+.
