About
Do you see an opportunity to earn more money by performing more skilled work at your current job? This course will help you turn your current role into an apprenticeship - and put you on a path to higher skills and earnings. Is This Course Right for You? This course is designed for incumbent workers - people who are already employed and want to create apprenticeship or work-based learning opportunities at their current workplace. This Course is For You If: ✅ You're currently employed and want to develop new skills while keeping your job ✅ You work at a company that doesn't currently have a formal apprenticeship program ✅ You're willing to take initiative to research and propose your own learning pathway ✅ You can commit 15-20 hours over 4-6 weeks to complete the course and research ✅ You're comfortable making phone calls and contacting organizations for information ✅ If you're in the skilled trades: You work at a non-union shop OR your local union isn't currently accepting apprentices This Course is NOT For You If: ❌ You're looking for a new job (try our "New Pathway" course instead) ❌ Your company already has established apprenticeship programs ❌ You want a "quick fix" - this process requires research and persistence Special Note for Skilled Trades Workers: Before taking this course, check your local union first. Most unions offer apprenticeships that handle all the components for you - training, mentorship, credentials, and funding. This is often the simplest path if available. How to check: Google "[your trade] union [your city/state]" Visit their website or call to ask about apprenticeship openings Apply if spots are available If your local union isn't hiring apprentices or you work at a non-union shop, then this course is perfect for you.
