How to Become an Apprentice
What is an apprentice?
An apprentice is a paid worker who is enrolled in a special training program administered by an employer in partnership with a labor organization or trade association. Most apprentices work in trades related to construction.
An apprenticeship is the best route to a career in a skilled trade. Such careers offer excellent wages and benefits. They also provide a sense of accomplishment, as the results of your work are there for all to see.
Many job opportunities – During the next 10 years, the number of construction-related jobs in Illinois is expected to grow at a healthy pace. The greatest growth is projected to be in the specialty trades industry for occupations such as electricians, painters and plumbers.
Time spent in training – Most apprenticeships take three to five years to complete. A typical program includes 2,000 hours of on-the-job training, and a minimum of 144 hours per year of related classroom instruction.
Wages paid to apprentices – Wages vary widely by trade, with beginning apprentices typically earning from 30 to 70 percent of the journeyworker’s wage for the given trade. Pay is gradually increased over the length of the apprenticeship until training is completed, and the apprentice graduates to full journeyworker status.
