About us
Your source to discover apprenticeships in Illinois, available resources, and next steps for the future. Apprenticeships are a win-win for businesses and job seekers. • Employers create or expand programs to build in-house talent, reduce turnover, and improve productivity as their future workforce gains experience. • Apprentices, aka job seekers/students, are paid to learn and develop new skills through job training and classroom learning that earn credentials. Apprenticeship programs combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction that ties into attaining industry-recognized credentials. Using the ‘learn while you earn' model, an employer hires and pays apprentices while gaining job experience during the program. Pre-Apprenticeship programs are documented partnerships with an employer designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in an apprenticeship program. Employers to get started, head to ApprenticeshipIllinois.com, or email us at Apprenticeship@IllinoisworkNet.com.
