Four Sectors of Apprenticeship
Process…Let’s Get started• Any apprenticeship starts with a motivated individual and the employer
• Individuals must have the minimum requirements to pursue their chosen trade –high school transcript required as proof (can refer to Approved Programs Chart which indicates entry level)
• Requirements will vary depending on the employer
• Employers are looking for workers who:– Have the minimum requirements with proof– Are reliable and dependable; good time management skills– Have their own transportation and driver’s license– Can work well as a part of a team and independently– Positive attitude and willingness to learn– Are safety oriented with good communication skills
Outdated but Very Useful
