Apprenticeship
Registered Apprenticeships
A post-secondary education like a college or university, but with a BIG difference! Apprentices learn a portion of their skills in a traditional classroom. However, on-the-job training while working towards a career is most of the program. Apprentices must be employed with and sponsored by an Approved Trainer, such as Dave Jones, Inc., to attend school.

All registered apprentices start as laborers in the field. This gives you the opportunity to learn more about what the career is about and also what your average day on the job would look like. Interviews with candidates are conducted twice a year to select individuals to enter the apprenticeship program.

Youth Apprenticeships
Youth apprenticeships are available to high school juniors and seniors. An employer like Dave Jones, Inc. will hire them for a one year, or two-year apprenticeship. During the program, the student continues toward high school graduation and takes courses related to the profession, while gaining real on-the-job experience with the employer as well.
In the time it takes to get a 4-year degree, you could be years into an apprenticeship with steady pay. What’s more, you’ll have career advancement opportunities, job security, and no college debt. If you have a hard time picturing yourself working indoors year-round, or sitting behind a desk, a career in the trades may be perfect for you!
