"The other four-year degree." A registered apprenticeship program allows you to develop the skills needed for a rewarding career while earning a paycheck and without accumulating a large amount of student loan debt. You will work full-time and learn skills through on-the-job training with a master craftsman. At the same time, you will take classes that are relevant to the work that you are doing.
Apprenticeship programs are perfect for providing you with the high-level skills needed by today's businesses. Each apprenticeship program includes a minimum of 2,000 hours of structured on-the-job training and 144 hours per year of related technical instruction. You will take classes at Edison State to fulfill the necessary hours of related instruction while working full-time. As a program participant, you will earn a nationally recognized credential and can complete a certificate or degree program relevant to your work.
