Apprenticeship is a partnership of employers, workers, the State of Oregon, and a variety of schools and community colleges. Employers provide career training.
Apprentices become valued members of the work force and assets to business.
The Oregon Apprenticeship and Training Division provides technical assistance. Schools, community colleges, and industry training centers provide classroom training. Apprenticeship trains workers to meet industry standards for a given occupation. Employers and skilled workers design training programs that meet the individual and changing needs of Oregon industries and technology. Apprenticeship is a proven way to train people for careers that demand a wide range of skills, knowledge, and independent judgment.
