Apprenticeship is a still a mystery to many, who never get the chance to capitalize on the opportunity to “earn while you learn” because they do not even know it is an option.
Registered Apprenticeship

The Maine Apprenticeship Program hopes to raise your awareness of Apprenticeship and all of the doors it can open for your future. Whether you are interested in becoming a welder or special education teacher, an electrician or an bookkeeper, with over 1,000 apprenticeable occupations, there is a career path for almost everyone.

The Maine Apprenticeship Program assists in setting up structured yet flexible training programs designed to meet the specific needs of Maine employers through on-the-job training (OJT) and related classroom instruction.

Apprenticeship Programs can be sponsored by employers, employer associations, or labor/management groups that can hire and train in a working situation.

MAP may reimburse up to 50% of an Apprentice’s tuition for college credit courses. In addition, the Apprentice works full-time for their sponsor (employer), applying related coursework and newly acquired skills to accomplish occupational tasks in a hands-on environment.
