Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training and classroom instruction to prepare you for highly skilled occupations such as carpentry or mechanics.

An apprenticeship is usually sponsored by an employer (so you get paid for the work you do while you learn), takes one to six years to complete, provides higher pay upon completion and gives you a competitive edge in their industries.
