Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships book cover Apprenticeships in over fifty different occupations are available throughout Oakland County and Southeast Michigan, including automotive and industrial skilled technicians, as well as continually emerging sectors such as health care and social services.

These professional apprenticeships develop the next generation of skilled workers for Oakland County, Michigan, and the United States. The Certificate of Completion from the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Apprenticeship is recognized throughout the United States. If the apprenticeship is sponsored by a labor union, upon completion the apprentice will also receive a journeyperson's card.

Because an individual must be a full-time employee of the company to which they are apprenticed, they are paid on a scale beginning around 40-50% of the typical full pay. Near the end of the apprenticeship, the pay usually ranges from 90-95% of the full rate.
