Registered Apprenticeship:

Registered Apprenticeship is an arrangement where an Apprentice receives hands-on training, technical instruction, and a paycheck at the same time. Apprentices work for a sponsor (their employer, a union, or an association like MACNY), but are provided hands-on training by their employer, who pays their wages. Registered Apprenticeship Programs usually last about 4 years, depending on the employer or occupation, although they may take up to 12 months. These programs are registered with the New York State Department of Labor. At the end of a Registered Apprenticeship Program, Apprentices receive a nationally recognized certificate of completion as proof of their skills that they can take anywhere.
