It is a well-established fact that as industry changes, we must be prepared to meet the challenges these changes present. Training, marketing, and recruitment are absolute necessities for those who choose to be a major recipient of the opportunities offered by apprenticeship. We need to work collectively to seize the opportunities this constantly growing sector of our industry offers.
Apprenticeship is the answer.
In order for apprenticeship to be successful, we must make sure that everyone has the opportunity to hear about all the advantages. Apprenticeship is a relationship between an employer and an employee during which the worker, or apprentice, learns a trade. The training lasts a specified length of time. For example, apprentice auto mechanics learn how to repair automotive equipment, how the various systems are designed, how to diagnose malfunctions, how to use the principal tools and test equipment found in an automotive shop, pertinent safety precautions, and cleanup of tools and work areas. Related instruction generally takes place in a classroom.
