Registered Labor-Management Apprenticeship Programs provide the training needed for good jobs and lifelong careers. This training combines both classroom instruction and on-the-job training. It is an “earn and learn” model: The more you learn, the more you further gain the training to be an expert in the craft, and you will earn. These programs are funded through a training trust, which is jointly operated by contractors and the union representing the particular Trade.

All Building Trades apprenticeship programs are registered with either the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship or a State Apprenticeship Agency. These registered apprenticeship programs provide the participants with a high-quality, portable, industry-sanctioned, and nationally recognized credential that certifies occupational proficiency in the construction industry.
