What Is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is an earn-and-learn approach that combines paid work with structured training for an occupation.

You learn by doing the job while earning a paycheck.

Depending on the employer and program, the training may be highly structured—or it may be more informal and employer-designed.

The details vary.

That is why it is important to understand what type of apprenticeship you are considering.

🟦 Registered Apprenticeship

A Registered Apprenticeship is a specific, formally approved type of apprenticeship.

Unlike the broader use of the word apprenticeship, Registered Apprenticeship follows defined standards and is registered through an authorized apprenticeship system.

A Registered Apprenticeship includes:

Paid employment — you are employed and earn wages while training.
Structured On-the-Job Learning — the program establishes what you will learn in the workplace.
Related Technical Instruction — classroom, online, or technical learning supports the occupation.
Experienced mentoring — you learn under the guidance of skilled workers.
Progressive wages — apprentices receive wage increases as their skills and experience grow according to program standards.
Defined training requirements — the program establishes the competencies, time, or combination required for completion.
Registration and oversight — the program must meet established Registered Apprenticeship standards.
Recognized completion credential — successful completion leads to a nationally recognized apprenticeship credential.

The key distinction is simple:

An apprenticeship can be employer-designed.
A Registered Apprenticeship must meet defined standards.

🟩 Employer / Unregistered Apprenticeship

Some Nevada employers offer apprenticeships that are not Registered Apprenticeships.

These can still be valuable paid career pathways.

They may provide:

Paid employment
Structured workplace training
Mentoring
Wage increases
Technical instruction
Industry credentials
College credit
Advancement into skilled employment

These features vary.

Before accepting an employer apprenticeship, ask:

Is this a Registered Apprenticeship?
How is the training organized?
Who will train and mentor me?
How long does the program last?
What skills will I learn?
How does my pay increase?
Is technical instruction included?
What credential will I earn?
Can I earn college credit?
What job will I be qualified for when I finish?

🟪 Nevada Colleges & Apprenticeship

Nevada's colleges can play several important roles in apprenticeship and employer-connected workforce development.

Depending on the program, a college may:

Provide Related Technical Instruction
Partner with Registered Apprenticeship sponsors
Work directly with employers
Help employers develop apprenticeship programs
Provide technical laboratories and instruction
Award college credit where applicable
Connect apprenticeship with certificates or degrees
Support pre-apprenticeship
Offer paid Work-Based Learning or co-op
Help career seekers connect with employers

An important distinction:

The employer or apprenticeship sponsor generally provides the paid apprenticeship job.

A college may provide the education connected with that job.

Do not assume that enrolling in a technical program automatically makes you an apprentice.

🟪 Verified Apprenticeship College vs. Other College Resources

When researching Nevada colleges, distinguish between:

Verified apprenticeship / RTI college — the college has a documented role supporting one or more apprenticeship programs, sponsors, or Related Technical Instruction pathways.

Other college resource — the college provides relevant technical education, workforce programs, career services, Work-Based Learning, or employer connections, but a specific apprenticeship relationship should be verified before describing the college as an apprenticeship provider.

This distinction matters because:

technical education ≠ apprenticeship

Always ask:

Which employer or sponsor provides the paid job?

🟪 College of Southern Nevada

The College of Southern Nevada — CSN — is a major workforce and technical-education resource for Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Southern Nevada.

Ask:

Which mining companies hire from this program?
Which employers sponsor apprentices?
Which employers hire trainees?
Does the employer pay tuition?
Can I work while completing the program?
Is the training required before applying?

Do not assume you must independently complete technical education before approaching a mining employer.

🟪 Questions to Ask a Nevada College

Do not ask only:

“Do you have apprenticeships?”

Ask:

Which Registered Apprenticeship sponsors do you currently work with?
Which employers are currently hiring apprentices?
Which apprenticeship occupations are supported?
Does the college provide Related Technical Instruction?
Do I apply to the employer or sponsor before enrolling?
Can apprenticeship earn college credit?
Can apprenticeship lead toward a certificate or degree?
Is pre-apprenticeship available?
Are paid Work-Based Learning or co-op opportunities available?
Can you connect me with an apprenticeship sponsor?
Is workforce funding available?
Is online or hybrid Related Technical Instruction available?

🟪 College Credit & Apprenticeship

Apprenticeship and college do not always have to be competing choices.

Depending on the program, a Nevada apprentice may be able to combine:

Paid employment
Registered Apprenticeship
Related Technical Instruction
College credit
Industry credentials
A certificate
An associate degree

Ask:

Does apprenticeship instruction carry college credit?
Can apprenticeship experience count toward a college credential?
Can industry credentials receive college credit?
Can I continue toward a higher credential after apprenticeship?
Does the employer or sponsor pay tuition?

🟩 Beyond Registered Apprenticeship

Registered Apprenticeship should be one of the first places you look for paid career training.

But it is not the only way to earn while learning.

If a Registered Apprenticeship is not available in the occupation or community you want, investigate:

Employer / unregistered apprenticeship
On-the-Job Training
Paid Work-Based Learning
Co-op / Cooperative Education
Employer-paid technical training
Technician trainee programs
Operator trainee programs
Maintenance trainee programs
Utility trainee programs
Employer academies
Career-development programs

These can be excellent career pathways.

They simply should not be assumed to provide the same structure or credential as Registered Apprenticeship.

Some Nevada employers may offer paid programs they describe as apprenticeships even when the program is not a Registered Apprenticeship.

An employer apprenticeship may provide:

Paid employment
Structured workplace training
Mentoring
Technical instruction
Wage increases
Industry credentials
College credit
Advancement into skilled employment

These features vary.

Before accepting an employer apprenticeship, ask:

Is this a Registered Apprenticeship?
If so, who registers the program?
How is training structured?
Who provides mentoring?
What is the starting wage?
How does pay progress?
Is technical instruction included?
What credential will I earn?
Can I earn college credit?
What position does successful completion lead to?

Unregistered does not automatically mean low quality.

It means you should evaluate the program based on what it actually provides.

On-the-Job Training — OJT — can provide another route into paid employment.

Start with:

⬛ EmployNV — Explore Nevada Jobs & Training
⬛ Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation — Explore Workforce Resources

In a workforce OJT arrangement, an employer hires and trains a worker while the workforce system may help support eligible training costs.

The participant earns wages while learning the job.

OJT is not automatically Registered Apprenticeship.

Ask:

Is there a Registered Apprenticeship in this occupation?
If not, is OJT available?
Which employers participate?
Am I eligible?
What job does the training lead to?
Could OJT lead into a Registered Apprenticeship?

🟩 Paid Work-Based Learning

Paid Work-Based Learning can provide career experience even when a full apprenticeship is not available.

Depending on the program, Work-Based Learning may involve:

Paid workplace experience
Employer-connected education
Career and Technical Education
College technical programs
Youth workforce programs
Occupational training

Ask:

Is this paid?
Will I be an employee?
What occupational skills will I learn?
How long does the experience last?
Can I earn an industry credential?
Can I earn college credit?
Can it lead to permanent employment?
Can it lead to Registered Apprenticeship?

🟩 Co-op / Cooperative Education

Nevada colleges, schools, and employers may offer cooperative education or other structured employment connected with education.

Ask:

Which employers participate?
Are the positions paid?
Which academic or technical programs participate?
Can I earn college credit?
Can co-op lead to permanent employment?
Does the employer also operate a Registered Apprenticeship?

Registered Apprenticeship
Paid employment
A skilled occupation
An industry credential
Career advancement

💰 EmployNV Training Assistance

Start with Nevada's workforce system.

⬛ EmployNV — Explore Nevada Jobs & Training
⬛ Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation — Explore Workforce Resources

Ask about:

Registered Apprenticeship
WIOA-funded training
On-the-Job Training
Paid Work-Based Learning
Occupational training
Supportive services
Employer-connected training

Eligibility and available funding vary.

💰 WIOA Training Assistance

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act — WIOA — can help eligible career seekers obtain employment and training services.

Ask:

Am I eligible for WIOA assistance?
Can WIOA support this training?
Is there a Registered Apprenticeship in this occupation?
Can apprenticeship-related training costs be supported?
Is On-the-Job Training available?
Are supportive services available?
Is the training provider eligible for workforce funding?

Investigate assistance before assuming you must pay the full cost yourself.

💰 Nevada College Training

Before paying for private career training, investigate Nevada's public colleges.

🟪 Nevada System of Higher Education — Explore Nevada Public Colleges

Ask about:

Registered Apprenticeship
Related Technical Instruction
Employer-paid education
Financial aid
Workforce funding
Short-term credentials
Technical certificates
College credit
Paid Work-Based Learning

Employer partnerships

💰 Employer-Sponsored College Training

Nevada employers may partner with colleges to provide technical training for current or prospective workers.

This can be especially important in:

Advanced manufacturing
Industrial maintenance
Mining
Construction
Healthcare
Information technology
Transportation

Before enrolling independently, ask:

Which employers sponsor this training?
Do I need to be hired first?
Does the employer pay tuition?

Which college or training provider do your apprentices attend?
Is tuition paid directly?
Are books included?
Are tools included?
Are certification or licensing fees covered?
Can apprenticeship earn college credit?
Do I need to be hired before enrolling?

For many apprenticeship pathways, the employer hires the apprentice first and then arranges or pays for the related education.

💰 Employer Tuition Assistance

Nevada employers may also provide tuition assistance outside Registered Apprenticeship.

Ask:

Is tuition paid in advance or reimbursed?
Which programs qualify?
Is there a grade requirement?
Is there an employment commitment?
Can tuition assistance support a technical certificate or degree?
Could the education lead into an internal apprenticeship?

💰 Union & Joint Apprenticeship Training

Construction apprenticeship provides an important alternative to independently paying for skilled-trades education.

Before enrolling in a private construction-trades school, compare:

Registered Apprenticeship
Union or joint apprenticeship
Contractor-sponsored apprenticeship
Employer-paid training
Workforce-funded training
College technical education

Ask an apprenticeship sponsor:

Do apprentices pay tuition?
Are books or tools required?
What wages are paid?
When do applications open?
What Related Technical Instruction is included?

💰 Free or Grant-Funded Short-Term Training

EmployNV partners, Nevada colleges, workforce organizations, unions, nonprofits, and employers may periodically offer free or grant-funded training.

Programs may include:

Construction
Advanced manufacturing
Industrial maintenance
Healthcare
Information technology
Transportation
Mining-related occupations
Diesel and heavy equipment

Before enrolling, ask:

Is the training completely free?
Are books, tools, exams, and certifications covered?
Which employers recruit participants?
Does the program connect with Registered Apprenticeship?
What paid job can follow?

🟧 Before Paying for Pre-Apprenticeship

Before paying tuition for pre-apprenticeship or apprenticeship-readiness training, ask:

Is a free program available?
Is workforce or grant funding available?
Is there a wage or stipend?
Which Registered Apprenticeship sponsors recognize the program?
Which employers or unions recruit participants?
What credential will I earn?
Does completion provide preferred consideration, direct entry, or advanced standing where applicable?
What paid opportunity follows?

Be cautious about paying substantial tuition solely for the possibility of later applying to an apprenticeship.

💰 Mining Training — Employer First?

Before paying for specialized mining training, ask:

Which mining employers require this training before hiring?
Which employers provide the training after hiring?
Which employers pay tuition?
Is the training connected with a Registered Apprenticeship?
Can a workforce program pay the cost?

Employer-paid training may be a better route than independently purchasing training.

💰 Manufacturing Training — Employer First?

The same principle applies to advanced manufacturing.

Before paying for:

Mechatronics
Industrial maintenance
Automation
Manufacturing technology
Electrical technology

ask:

Which employers hire trainees?
Which employers sponsor apprentices?
Which employers provide tuition assistance?
Can I work while completing the education?
Is workforce funding available?

🟩 Supportive Services

Eligible workforce or pre-apprenticeship participants may be able to receive assistance addressing barriers to employment or training.

Depending on the program and available funding, assistance may include:

Transportation
Child care
Tools
Work clothing
Testing fees
Training expenses
Other employment-related needs

Ask EmployNV or the program provider what assistance is currently available.

💰 Compare Training Before You Pay

Before paying for career training, compare:

Registered Apprenticeship — paid employment plus structured training.

Employer-Paid Training — the employer pays you and provides or pays for training.

Union or Joint Apprenticeship — paid employment combined with structured apprenticeship training.

Employer-Sponsored College Training — an employer and college may jointly provide technical training tied to workforce needs.

Workforce-Funded Training — WIOA or another workforce program may pay qualifying training costs.

Financial Aid or Grant-Funded College Training — eligible students may receive federal, state, institutional, employer, or other assistance.

Pre-Apprenticeship — may provide free or funded preparation and employer connections.

Self-Paid Training — you pay the cost yourself.

Self-paid training may be appropriate in some situations, but investigate the other options first.

Important Information & Disclaimer

This guide is provided for general educational, career-exploration, and informational purposes.

Apprenticeship programs, employers, sponsors, application periods, eligibility requirements, wages, benefits, training requirements, college-credit arrangements, licensing requirements, funding, and other program details can change.

Always confirm current information directly with the apprenticeship sponsor, employer, college, training provider, workforce agency, government agency, licensing authority, or other organization responsible for the program before applying, enrolling, paying fees, purchasing tools, changing employment, relocating, or making financial or career decisions.

Registered Apprenticeship Status

The word apprenticeship does not necessarily mean that a program is a Registered Apprenticeship.

Unless a program is specifically identified as a Registered Apprenticeship through an authoritative state or federal source, verify its registration status.

An employer or unregistered apprenticeship may still provide valuable paid training, but its structure, mentoring, wage progression, instruction, credentials, and other features may differ from Registered Apprenticeship.

Youth Apprenticeship & Work-Based Learning

Youth apprenticeship, CTE, dual-credit education, and Work-Based Learning opportunities are not automatically Registered Apprenticeships.

Before participating, determine:

Whether the student is paid
Whether the student is an employee
Whether the employer operates a Registered Apprenticeship
Whether the youth pathway itself is registered
Whether the pathway connects with Registered Apprenticeship
What occupational skills will be learned
What credentials can be earned
Whether college credit is available
Whether employment can continue after high school

Pre-Apprenticeship

Pre-apprenticeship is not the same as Registered Apprenticeship.

Pre-apprenticeship may be:

Paid
Stipend-supported
Unpaid

Before enrolling, confirm:

Program cost
Wages or stipends
Credentials earned
Employer or union participation
Connections with Registered Apprenticeship
Whether completion provides advanced standing, direct entry, or preferred consideration where applicable
What paid opportunity may follow

Be cautious about paying substantial tuition solely for the opportunity to later apply for an apprenticeship.

College Enrollment

A Nevada college may be an important apprenticeship partner without being the organization that hires apprentices.

Before enrolling in a technical program because you want an apprenticeship, ask:

Which Registered Apprenticeship sponsors use this college?
Which employers are currently hiring?
Does the employer require applicants to enroll before hiring?
Or does the employer hire first and then send apprentices to the college?
Does the college provide Related Technical Instruction?
Can apprenticeship training earn college credit?
Who pays tuition?

This can prevent you from paying for education that an apprenticeship employer might otherwise provide.

Program Availability

A program, sponsor, employer, college, union, training provider, or organization appearing in this guide does not mean that it is currently accepting applications or hiring apprentices.

Recruiting periods and available positions change.

Being listed does not guarantee:

Current availability
Eligibility
Admission
Selection
Employment
Funding
College credit
Licensing eligibility
Successful completion

Contact the responsible organization for current requirements.

Interstate Apprenticeship

Nevada residents may find apprenticeship opportunities in neighboring states.

These include:

California
Arizona
Utah
Idaho
Oregon

Cross-state searching may be especially relevant in border communities and regional construction markets.

Before accepting an out-of-state apprenticeship, verify:

Where the apprenticeship is registered
Where the paid employment occurs
Where Related Technical Instruction occurs
Whether occupational licensing is required
Whether apprenticeship hours or credentials will be recognized in Nevada
Whether additional Nevada requirements apply

Do not assume apprenticeship requirements or occupational licenses transfer automatically across state lines.

Funding & Financial Assistance

WIOA, financial aid, employer tuition support, workforce grants, supportive services, union training assistance, and veterans benefits have separate eligibility requirements.

A program's eligibility for funding does not guarantee that an individual will qualify.

Confirm:

Current eligibility
Covered expenses
Remaining costs
Application deadlines
Whether funding must be approved before training begins

Occupational Licensing

Some Nevada occupations require state or local licenses, certifications, examinations, supervised experience, or other credentials.

This can be particularly important in construction and other regulated occupations.

Registered Apprenticeship completion does not automatically guarantee every occupational license.

Verify licensing requirements separately with the appropriate licensing authority.

External Links

This guide includes links to government agencies, colleges, training organizations, employers, apprenticeship sponsors, workforce organizations, nonprofit organizations, unions, and other third-party resources.

Links are provided for informational and research purposes.

Apprenticeship.com does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, privacy practices, application processes, program changes, or services.

For advice concerning your specific circumstances, consult the appropriate qualified professional, government agency, apprenticeship sponsor, employer, college, licensing authority, workforce organization, or other responsible organization.

Verify Before You Decide

Before making an important career, education, employment, or financial decision:

Verify the information with the organization responsible for the program.
Confirm that applications are currently being accepted.
Confirm wages, benefits, costs, and training requirements.
Confirm whether the apprenticeship is registered.
Confirm the status of youth apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, CTE, dual-credit education, or Work-Based Learning.
Confirm occupational licensing requirements when applicable.
Confirm any college-credit or credential claims.
Confirm whether out-of-state apprenticeship training will be recognized when applicable.
Confirm eligibility for WIOA, financial aid, supportive services, union training assistance, or veterans benefits.
