Find Opportunities

Pre-apprenticeship and youth apprenticeship opportunities for students are offered through an employer or an intermediary program sponsor. Students can become an apprentice or pre-apprentice by searching open apprenticeship job opportunities from employers across the state and directly applying with the employer of the apprenticeship program. Some youth apprenticeships are open for students as young as 16, with most opportunities available at 18.

Students can visit jobs.utah.gov and log in or create a job seeker account to search for apprenticeship job openings. If a student is interested in seeking a youth apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeship but needs more guidance, encourage them to find an American Job Center near them.
