Earn while you learn!
Apprenticeship Cleveland is a combination of on-the-job training and practical classroom instruction that prepares participants for high-skilled careers with local industry partners. Apprenticeship programs are sponsored by a local employer where the apprentice will benefit from paid employment and on-the-job training.
Upon successful completion, the apprentice qualifies for a nationally-recognized certification as a “journey worker” in a skilled trade and an academic credential from Cleveland Community College.
Benefits of Apprenticeship include:
- Paid employment during training with progressive wage increases
- Opportunity to learn skills needed by employers throughout the industry
- A more secure career and the ability to adapt to new job requirements
- Credit toward a diploma or certificate for completion of the apprenticeship program


Apprenticeship Partners
Apprenticeship programs are industry-driven, structured training methods that allow employers to attract and develop new talent or use existing full-time employees to earn while they learn. There is no cost for employers to participate.
