Registered apprenticeship sponsors in Kansas

161 employers, unions and other organizations sponsor registered apprenticeships in Kansas, according to apprenticeship.gov's partner file dated October 7, 2026; the oldest registration on file is from 1941.

How registered apprenticeship works

Registered apprenticeships are paid jobs whose wages rise as you learn (29 CFR 29.5): the program sets a progressively increasing wage schedule. A sponsor is the employer, union or group that runs the program and hires the apprentice. The public sponsor file does not say which occupations a sponsor trains, so ask the sponsor, use apprenticeship.gov's Apprenticeship Finder, or visit your American Job Center.
