What types of companies have apprenticeship programs?
A variety of types and sizes of companies have apprenticeship programs. Construction, manufacturing, transportation and the printing trades benefit greatly from apprenticeship programs. In fact, without a continuous flow of apprentices becoming skilled journey workers, quality industrial standards would be severely affected. Recently, apprenticeship programs have been developed for Child Care Development Specialist, Administrative Support Services, Accounting Clerk, Hazardous Waste Technician, Low-voltage System Installer, Experimental Machinist and Refuse Derived Fuel Processor positions, to name a few. With few exceptions, any business that requires highly skilled employees — from a small two-person business to the largest corporations — can benefit from apprenticeship.
