Finding and Applying to an Apprenticeship Sponsor
All apprenticeships start with a job.
To become a Registered Apprentice:
- First, use this list to find the current employers in your field of interest. To be an apprentice, you must be hired by an apprentice employer. Apprentice employers on this list may be hiring, they may have a waiting list, or they may not currently be hiring apprentices. Contact the employer(s) in your field to determine if they are hiring—we recommend doing this before you complete their job application.
- If the apprentice employer is hiring, you will go through their regular hiring process. If you are the candidate selected for the job, they will register you as an apprentice after hire.
- Once the apprentice employer completes the application in e-license, the Office of Apprenticeship Training approves it and sends an email to the new apprentice with full instructions on how to complete their registration.
- Once registration is complete, you are on your way to learning and earning. After you finish your apprenticeship, you will already have a job, be a master at your trade, and will be ready to take any credentialling exams.
