Office of Apprenticeship Training

E-Apprenticeship system coming May 1, 2025

On May 1, the Office of Apprenticeship Training will become part of the state’s e-license system. E-Apprenticeship will bring services online to help employers save time and money and help apprentices check in on their progress.

The apprenticeship information will be migrating to the new system beginning on April 15. Employers should send in any paperwork before the migration begins. We recommend sending documents no later than 4/9/25 to leave mail time.

Any checks and/or paperwork received on or after 4/15/25 will be returned so employers can enter it on or after 5/1/25.

Please contact your apprenticeship representative with any questions.

Registered apprentices earn while they learn: they master a trade through a combination of on-the-job training and classroom instruction.   Thousands of companies across Connecticut have benefited from a customized Registered Apprenticeship training program. These programs increase workforce recruitment and proficiency, help employers transfer occupational skills to a new generation of workers, and ensure succession planning. Depending upon the trade, apprenticeship programs may last 1-4 years.  

When participants complete their program, the Connecticut Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship Training provides an industry recognized, portable credential that:
  • Certifies completion of the program
  • Distinguishes the apprentice as a master of their craft
  • Makes the apprentice eligible to take any occupational licensing exams
