In its efforts to help fill the workforce gap, Turtle Mountain Community College now offers Registered Apprenticeships in select programs for students who wish to secure a degree in a high-demand field while earning a salary. The Learn Where You Earn (OR Earn While You Learn) apprenticeship combines classroom theory and valuable on-the-job, hands-on training. Apprenticeship is a unique workforce solution for both employers and job seekers/workers. Through an earn-while-you-learn or learn where you earn model, apprenticeships allow individuals to grow into their profession while learning the skills needed to succeed in a high-demand, highly-skilled career, all while getting paid! While completing the apprenticeship, students will learn the necessary skill sets to successfully enter the workforce pipeline. Our Registered Apprenticeship Programs meet national standards for registration with the U.S. Department of Labor.
Both internships and apprenticeships are meant to help students or entry level professionals gain expertise in an industry. An apprenticeship is a paid, on-the-job-training opportunity for someone to learn the skills needed for a career while working towards professional qualifications. Apprenticeship programs focus on teaching specific skills needed to become a full-time employee, whereas internships are generally short-term, temporary opportunities to gain experience.
