Registered Apprenticeship
Through the U.S. Department of Labor, this program includes on-the-job training with accompanying study for a trade/profession resulting in a national industry certification with wage increases at specified timeframes.
Most training is done while working for an employer who helps the apprentice learn their trade or profession, in exchange for their continued labor for an agreed period after they have achieved measurable competencies.
Apprenticeships typically last 3 to 7 years. People who successfully complete an apprenticeship reach the "journeyman" or professional certification level of competence.
Other Programs
State Earn and Learn
Indiana’s State Earn and Learn (SEAL) programs are certified through the Office of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship.
Adult Education with OJT
Indiana Adult Education programs provide instruction free of charge to help individuals acquire the skills needed to earn a high school equivalency diploma, go to college, or enter an entry-level occupational certification program.
Internship and Capstone Courses
Participants work for an employer, paid or unpaid, for a limited period of time for career exploration and experience, skill development, and networking. Traditional internships are in the summer, with a focus on high school and college students.
Career and Technical Education
Career and Technical Education (CTE) prepares youth and adults for a wide range of high-wage, high-skill, high-demand careers. The mission of CTE in Indiana is to ensure an education system of high quality and equity for the academic achievement and career preparation of all Indiana students.
Job Shadow
Aimed at career awareness and exploration, these experiences typically last for one day or less.
