Apprenticeship

An apprenticeship is all about transferring a student’s skillset from the classroom to industry.

The earn and learn model

Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and an industry-recognized credential.

How do apprenticeships work?

In an apprenticeship, employers structure a career pathway by combining education with paid on-the-job training, allowing students to earn while learning. In return for genuine effort, apprentices receive regular salary increases and an industry recognized certification upon program completion.

In apprenticeship, both career seekers and employers benefit. At MVC, we provide guidance and educational support to employers, assist career seekers in starting apprenticeships in high-demand occupations, and partner with regional apprenticeship programs.
