After completion of an apprenticeship program, your journey-level status is recognized nationally. Apprenticeship is a career choice and commitment. Once you decide on an occupation, apply to the program in your area offering training in that occupation. There may not be immediate openings in that program and you may need to put your name on a waiting list. Apprenticeship programs usually only bring in new apprentices when there are enough jobs to keep all apprentices working.
Some programs only accept applications at certain times of the year.
This directory contains individual pages for each registered apprenticeship program in Alaska, and describes the procedure, requirements, and documents necessary to apply for each apprenticeship. This information is to assist you in deciding which career is the right choice for you and where to turn for more information. Once you are accepted for an interview, you will be asked questions about your attitude toward work, your interest in the particular occupation, and your ability to learn under supervision and as part of a team. There is no charge to the apprentice for the classroom instruction. However, some occupations will require manuals, codes, texts or tools, available at a nominal charge.
