Apprenticeship and Training Association of Texas – Houston Chapter

Apprenticeships: It's not just a job…It's a Career

Apprenticeships connect job seekers who want to learn new skills with employers who want qualified workers. Employers, employer associations, and joint-labor management organizations known collectively as apprenticeship sponsors, provide apprentices with instruction that reflects industry needs. Apprentices receive on-the-job training and academic instruction that equips them with the portable skill sets needed to advance in their chosen field. The result is workers with industry driven training and employers with a competitive edge.

For decades, registered apprenticeship programs have been successful by combining on-the-job training with classroom theory supported by a strong mentoring component. The apprenticeship goes through a structured program established by the employer that includes incremental wages increases until he or she has completed the course of training.
