Why apprenticeship?

The answer is simple. The United States does not produce enough tech talent to fill growing needs each year. As such, employers require a secondary system in which they can produce and attain talent. We see a future where organizations will have two talent development pipelines: the university system and Registered Apprenticeship. The intent of the U.S. in the elevation of Registered Apprenticeship programs is to help organizations become more confident posting jobs with the requirement of either a college degree or completion of an apprenticeship. Europe and Asia have adopted apprenticeships in nearly every industry and continue to reap the benefits. In the U.S., Apprenti is part of a national apprenticeship ecosystem that is supported by the federal government.

What’s the difference between an internship and a Registered Apprentice?

Internships offer job exposure for a short period of time, typically 1-6 months, with a variable structure that may include on-the-job training. Registered Apprenticeships offer job experience and begin with the intent to retain. Typically lasting at least one year, the Registered Apprenticeship commitment includes competency benchmarks with structured technical and on-the-job training. Successful completion of Registered Apprenticeship results in a transferable, nationally recognized credential certifying competency as a fully qualified worker in a specific occupational role.
