Careers via Apprenticeship
Today's workforce demands highly skilled, highly trained construction workers. Apprenticeship is a system of work-based learning that combines supervised, on-the-job training plus classroom instruction. This allows the Apprentice to earn a good income while they learn a skilled trade!
Wisconsin has a long and proud tradition of apprenticeship training. In cooperation with industry, labor, government, and education, apprenticeship programs assist in developing the highly skilled workers needed today. You too can become an Apprentice right out of high school!
 About half of all active apprentices in Wisconsin work in the construction trades. To gain entry into an Apprenticehip Program, an applicant usually must pass an aptitude test, interview with a committee, provide a high school transcript and proof of graduation or equivalent, birth certificate and driver's license. Once you are eligible to be hired as an Apprentice, you must find an employer which the local trade committee will assist you with. With the completion of an Appreticeship Program, you're certified as a Journeyman with high starting wages and a skill you can take anywhere in the world!
