Apprenticeship Illinois
What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a system in which workers train on-the-job while learning a particular skill or set of skills.
Most apprenticeships can last between one and four years and provide work experience and a recognized industry credential that lasts a lifetime.
