| What are the benefits of Registered Apprenticeship? |
| WHY SHOULD I ATTEND APPRENTICESHIP CLASSES if I am not yet working in the trade? Enrolling in apprenticeship classes even though you are not sponsored shows that you are a SELF STARTER. In class, your attendance will be documented, and your class records will show that you are DEPENDABLE when you earn perfect attendance. By earning a good grade, you will have proof that you are a good TRAINING INVESTMENT. Employers like SELF STARTERS; they want people who are DEPENDABLE; they want a good return on their TRAINING investment! |
