Apprenticeship is like Harvard…
• National estimate: One person is accepted out of
every 15 people who apply to an apprenticeship
opening.
• Find out what it takes – talk to your local
apprenticeship programs.
• Often, students need to do extra preparation in order
to be a competitive candidate.• Industry work experience• Community college vocational/trades prep programs• CTE / Pre-Apprenticeship programs for secondary students
…Many apply, few are accepted, and those that are, are really lucky.
