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.
