Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships
give you the opportunity to get paid while you learn how to master
a trade.
What
are trades?
Trades are professions
which do not require a college education, but require specialized
training for you to learn how to do them. Some examples are: carpenters,
auto mechanics, electricians, painters, machinists, florists, masons,
ironworkers and pile drivers.
How
much will I get paid?
Pay rates vary depending
on the job you are training for however, the average is $10 - $15
per hour. It is possible to earn college credit for classes you
take as an apprentice.
How
long do I have to train?
After two to five
years in an apprenticeship, you will learn enough skills to become
a "journey level" employee, which is an official entry
level position. Journey level workers earn $20 an hour and up. |
