Apprenticeship is a systematic training program that uses a combination of on-the-job training and classroom instruction to teach the skills of a particular trade or occupation. Apprentices usually work full time, and then attend classes approximately 16 hours per month. Apprentice programs typically last for four years and conclude with the opportunity to become a skilled journeyman in the trade.
