Apprenticeship Programs

Train on the Job, Learn in the Classroom, Build for the Future.

Apprentices Earn While They Learn

Apprentices are employed from day one and are paid to work and learn on the job. In addition to technical hands-on training received from their employer, apprentices receive IRSC instruction in related coursework to advance their knowledge, skills and abilities.

Apprentices:

•Train under the direction of experienced workers;

•Typically earn competitive wages, and get pay increases as they advance in their training;

•Attain national skills standards, making them highly marketable;

•Earn a certificate of completion from the State of Florida, and in many cases are eligible to take a journeyman license exam;

•Earn college credit that can be applied toward completing a degree at IRSC; and

•Are exempt from paying related tuition and fees—their employers/sponsors pay them.

Apprenticeship completers earn about $300,000 more, over the course of their careers, than their non-apprentice peers in the same industry.
