Registered Apprenticeship
Registered Apprenticeship combines on-the-job training with formal education. Opportunities are company specific and require sponsorship by a company and paperwork approved by ApprenticeshipNC. This is a limited enrollment program and is not open to every student. A registered apprenticeship must be initiated by the apprenticeship sponsor company, and curriculum for apprenticeship programs is typically chosen by the apprenticeship sponsor in conjunction with the RCC Apprenticeship Coordinator, dependent upon the Department of Labor requirements.
Apprenticeships options include:
- Youth Apprenticeship (including RockATOP)
- Adult Apprenticeship (including Veteran Apprenticeships)
- Incumbent Worker Apprenticeships
According to the NC Community Colleges Apprenticeship NC webpage: "Apprentices are individuals who receive on-the-job learning from a master-level supervisor while typically receiving job-related education from institutions such as community colleges or trade organizations. They can be current high school students, recent graduates, experienced workers or military veterans. (ApprenticeshipNC.com)"
