On-the-Job Training through Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships, which provide the opportunity for individuals to receive supervised instruction via on-the-job training, can be a valuable career development tool. While apprenticeships have typically been associated with occupations such as electrician, carpenter, and plumber, they are becoming increasingly popular in high growth industries like health care and information technology.
