Apprenticeships
What are they?The Virginia Department of Labor Defines them as:
“The Virginia Registered Apprenticeship is a training system that produces highly skilled workers to meet the demands of employers competing in a global economy, through a combination of on-the-job training and theoretical classroom instruction. It is a "win-win" approach to workforce development for more than 13,000 apprentices (employees) throughout the Commonwealth.
It’s on the job training, learning from someone who is already qualified in the field.
