Registered Utah Apprenticeship

And Now You Know

Most high school freshmen in Utah plan to go to college, but less than 20% will ever graduate. While most jobs (65.8%) require some post-secondary training, only 20.8% require at least a bachelor's degree. Apprenticeship provides an excellent alternative to secure training and credentials.

In Utah, more than half of the apprentices registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training are from independent shops? The program is for all Americans, regardless of union or non-union status.

The largest and fastest growing segment of the emerging technical workforce is in occupations that do not require a 4-year college degree.

Before electricity, apprentices had to hold candles for craftsmen to shed light in dark corners or at the end of the day. An apprentice who did inadequate work, therefore, was described as "not fit to hold a candle to" the craftsman.

High school juniors and seniors may be able to get a head start on their apprenticeship program. If your school district offers an apprenticeship program, you may be able to start in your junior year, work part-time during the school year and full-time in the summer to accumulate your OJT (on-the-job training) while taking concurrent enrollment classes (classes that give you college credit even though you are still in high school). If you start your junior year in high school, you may be able to get one (1) full year of college credit and a year to one and a half (1½) years of OJT. Cool, huh? Call your school district applied technology education department to see how you can get started today.
