From the Iowa office of Apprenticeship:
The Registered Apprenticeship system provides opportunity for workers seeking high-skilled, high- paying jobs and for employers seeking to build a qualified workforce. In this regard, the Registered Apprenticeship system effectively meets the needs of both employers and workers. It is highly active in traditional industries such as construction and advanced manufacturing, but also instrumental in the training and development of high demand industries such as healthcare, energy and information technology.
The "Earn and Learn" training model of Registered Apprenticeship provides a unique combination of structured learning with on-the-job training from an assigned mentor. Related instruction, technical training or other certified training is provided by apprenticeship training centers, technical schools, community colleges and/or institutions employing distance and computer-based learning approaches. There are more than 1,000 apprentice occupations and new occupations are being added all the time!
Upon completion of a Registered Apprenticeship program participants receive an industry issued, nationally recognized credential that certifies occupational proficiency and is portable. In many cases, these programs provide apprentices with the opportunity to simultaneously obtain secondary and post-secondary degrees.
