As our employee, you do NOT pay us for training. Once accepted, you agree to the pay scale for the apprenticeship program you are accepted into.
The fee is for our Pre-Apprenticeship training but NOT for transitioning service members. The clock hours are accepted into the apprenticeship programs as credit toward the certification.
- All applicants applying for apprenticeship training must enter a resume located in the enrollment portal to be considered an applicant.
- The staff will be looking for factors such as; previous work experience, and related training, the reason for interest in the occupation, military affiliation, pre-apprenticeship certifications offered by the firm, and current technical background.
- Criminal background is not accepted for the apprenticeship program due to the nature of business. However, we do have positions where the criminal background would not be an issue.

Our STEM Instructor Training Course is NOT a “free” course. Please discuss with our enrollment specialist other funding options if you do not have the funds to cover the cost.
No, with the exception of Onward 2 Opportunity (O2O).
