Apprenticeships today
Registered apprenticeship programs are becoming increasingly diverse both in terms of the industries that sponsor them and the employees who take part in them.
The Massachusetts Division of Apprentice Standards (DAS) has expanded its mission to help all kinds of organizations establish work-based training programs, supplemented by classroom instruction, that enable apprentices to earn while they learn.
As a paid employee, you earn a progressively increasing wage during your apprenticeship. Those of you who complete an apprenticeship program receive recognized industry credentials to help pave your way into the post-apprentice workforce.
