What is an Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships are an Earn as you Learn model for individuals to be employed while they attend school. An Apprenticeship is an industry-driven career pathway that assists employers to develop and apply industry standards to training programs.

The MDC Apprenticeship Program is housed under the Department of Career and Technical Education (CTE). The mission of CTE is to prepare students for career pathways in the targeted industries identified by the Beacon Council.
