Apprenticeships are a combination of on-the-job training and related instruction in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. Apprenticeship programs can be sponsored by individual employers, joint employer and labor groups, and/or employer associations.

Nationally, there are more than 900 recognized occupations. An apprenticeable occupation is learned through a structured program of supervised on-the-job training; is clearly identified and commonly accepted throughout the industry; requires 2,000 or more hours of work experience to learn; requires related supplemental instruction; and involves the development of manual, mechanical and technical skills broad enough to be applicable in like occupations in an industry.

Visit the U.S. Department of Labor's Apprenticeship website, call Ohio's Apprenticeship program at (614) 644-2242, or visit the Ohio State Apprenticeship Council Website.
