What are Apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships are industry-driven, high-quality career pathways that benefit both businesses and workers. Through apprenticeships, employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction and a portable, nationally-recognized credential. This on-the-job training benefits all involved — apprentices, businesses and the community at large –– which ultimately benefits Utah’s economy as a whole. Apprenticeships are developed in all industries, from traditional sectors like construction and manufacturing, to emerging sectors like IT and healthcare.
