Apprenticeship is a systematic training program that uses a combination of on-the-job training (OJT) and classroom related instruction (RI) to teach the skills of a trade or occupation. Apprentices usually work a regular 40-hour week and attend 16 hours of RI per month at the Workforce Training Center. Apprenticeship programs typically last for two to four years and conclude with the opportunity to receive certification in the trade or occupation.

North Idaho College Workforce Training Offers apprenticeships in the construction trades and the Health Care field.

Most apprentices begin work with an employer prior to beginning apprenticeship instruction. However, it is not necessarily a requirement that you be employed to take apprenticeship courses at NIC Workforce Training.  Please check the specific requirements of the apprenticeship that interests you. The various apprenticeships that NIC Workforce Training offers have different minimal qualifications and requirements.
