  3. What is an Apprenticeship? Apprenticeships allow people to get paid on-the-job training along with classroom learning to earn credentials and certifications for a fruitful career; Apprentices generally have structured pay increases associated with the demonstration of competencies and greater responsibility; Apprentices are generally considered a full-time employee of an employer during the apprenticeship; Apprentices are mentored on the job to employers’ expectations; Apprentices often receive employment credentials and college credit during their apprenticeship; Apprenticeships do not come with the associated burden of student loan debt; and Apprenticeships can be for incumbent workers or new employees.

  4. Myths and Facts about Apprenticeships Myth 1: Apprenticeships and Internships are the same thing. Fact: Apprenticeships are long-term, paid, and generally lead to a job. Internships are short-term opportunities that are often unpaid. Myth 2: Apprenticeships are for the trades only. Fact: The trades and construction are where the most apprenticeships exist. However, in recent years industries like advanced manufacturing, health care, and IT have embraced them. Myth 3: Apprenticeships are only for young people. Fact: Apprenticeships are open to people of all ages and are often used by companies to train incumbent workers. Myth 4: Apprenticeships are a way for companies to get low-cost labor. Fact: Apprenticeships may start at a lower wage rate, but rates increase with longer tenure. They often lead to high-paying positions (87% pay above $50,000) without the burden of student loan debt.

  5. Myths and Facts about Apprenticeships Myth 5: Apprenticeships cost too much money for employers. Fact: Employers see a return-on-investment of about $1.50 per apprenticeship by the second year of employment. Myth 6: Apprenticeships offer boring work. Fact: Apprenticeships allow employees to learn on-the-job and engage in skilled activities while taking on high levels of responsibility. Myth 7: College is better than an apprenticeship. Fact: This is true for some industries but not all. For many industries, apprenticeships lead to better employment prospects without student loan debt. Myth 8: Apprenticeships aren’t available. Fact: There are more than 500,000 apprenticeships in the United States in hundreds of different industries.

  6. What are Competency-Based Occupational Frameworks (CBOFs)? CBOFs are DOL-approved occupational standards that have been vetted by industry, approved for national use, and emphasize whether an apprentice can demonstrate competency in various core functions of the occupation.
