Learning while earning and learning by doing.
Apprenticeship is a system of learning while earning and learning by doing.
It combines training on the job with related and supplemental instruction at school. Today apprenticeship is utilized chiefly in the building trades and technical fields. Each program operates under apprenticeship training standards agreed to by labor and management in accordance with state and federal laws. The JAC determines the standards for training of its craft or industry, and supervises the training of the apprentices. The ability to read, write, and speak well is more important in some than in others.
