🔧 What Is Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship is more than just a job—it's a formal training program that combines real work experience with classroom learning.
When an apprentice joins a registered program, they sign a contract with their employer that:
-
✔️ Is approved by the State of Minnesota
-
✔️ Outlines the length of training and required school hours
-
✔️ Lists the skills they’ll learn on the job
-
✔️ Details their wage progression
⚠️ Note: This is different from simply registering as an unlicensed electrician. A registered apprenticeship is a structured, recognized education pathway.
