Apprenticeship Cleveland County

Apprenticeship Cleveland County 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. Apprentices also achieve a National Career Readiness Certificate, a nationally recognized portable work skills credential to add to their portfolio and resumé.

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 towards an AAS degree or Certificate for completion of apprenticeship program
