Do apprentices have to study?
Most apprenticeship opportunities include classroom instruction and employers in the USA are free to use online training providers. The key aim is that the apprentice receives theoretical training along with the on-the-job training they receive from an experienced professional.
Can you become an apprentice at any age?
Traditionally apprentices were school leavers but now anyone can become an apprentice. It’s a useful option for anyone changing careers or returning to the workforce after some time away. The only stipulation around age is that you must be over 18 years, or 16 years with parental approval.
