Apprenticeships
Apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and classroom instruction where workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. Apprenticeship program training period ranges from two to six years, and apprentices are taught the proper use, care and safe handling of the tools and equipment used in connection with their work. To round out their training, classroom work is required in subjects to the trade.
Apprentices earn while learning; the more they learn, the higher the pay. Meaning that while in an apprenticeship students are paid and earn raises the longer they are in their program. North Kansas City and Kansas City have an abundance of available apprenticeships that students can start applying for at 18.
