BRIEF SUMMARY
Apprenticeships are a great way to get paid while getting valuable training and experience. This is just one of many post-secondary options to explore with our students.
KEY POINTS
- Registered Apprenticeships allow federal agencies to recruit, train and retain a highly skills workforce.
- A quality apprenticeship program will include on-the-job learning competencies, a curriculum and standards for completion.
RESOURCES

- (Added 8/22/23) Office of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship: There is a page with links and info on Registered Apprenticeships, which are federally recognized.
- Federally-recognized Apprenticeship: Per the Indiana General Assembly, any apprenticeship program must be registered under the federal National Apprenticeship Act (29 U.S.C. 50 et seq.) or another federal apprenticeship program administered by the United States Department of Labor.
