Apprentices Earn while they Learn

A career in a commercial construction trade begins with an apprenticeship. An apprentice will learn both in the classroom and on the job site. They receive wages and benefits and -- in many cases -- credit hours towards an Associate's Degree. Those who complete an apprenticeship become Journeyman. The Northwest Ohio Construction Education Center is a great resource for career and apprenticeship opportunities!
