Learn About Apprenticeships
What is An Apprenticeship?
During an apprenticeship, an employer-based program, students earn nationally recognized credentials, 而雇主则培养了一支有才能的团队，缩小了技能差距. 很多人高中毕业后就开始当学徒, 它们可能也适用于退伍军人, those looking to change careers, or people whose jobs are being replaced by technology. Here at College of The Albemarle (COA), 我们的目标是帮助联系和支持雇主和学徒.
今天的学徒制涵盖了广泛的行业和职业. 北卡罗莱纳州和世界各地的大大小小的公司都使用学徒制来培训他们的员工，建立一支熟练的劳动力队伍. 北卡罗来纳州使用学徒模式的公司包括CVS, Siemens, GSK, Atrium Health, Machine Specialties Inc. and hundreds of others.
北卡罗来纳州的雇主提供的一些学徒机会包括下面列出的那些, though there are many others:
- 医疗保健(外科技师、LPN、药学技术、护理等.)
- IT and cybersecurity
- Public safety (police, fire, EMS)
- Logistics and transportation
- Energy (line workers, etc.)
- Building trades (welder, electrician, plumbing, construction)
- Advanced manufacturing
- Finance and insurance
- Hospitality
Types of Apprenticeships
There are several types of apprenticeships:
- Pre-Apprenticeship 是针对对某一特定领域感兴趣并希望为雇主全职或兼职工作的高中生吗. 预学徒可能是有报酬的，并且通常在高中毕业后提供完整的学徒资格.
- Registered or full apprenticeships 是否适合那些已经选择了职业道路，并希望在全职或兼职工作时接受职业各方面培训的学生. 注册学徒制还提供了一个工资标准，根据经验和学到的技能增加工资.
“实习”这个词经常被错误地用来代替“学徒”. They aren’t the same. 实习通常是短期的，可以让学生探索职业. 提供实习机会的雇主通常没有结构化的培训，也没有在实习结束后为实习生提供职位. 实习生在完成实习后也不会获得国家认可的证书.
Benefits of an Apprenticeship
雇主和学徒都从正式的学徒计划中受益. 学徒制为学生提供有偿的基于工作的学习和相关的课堂学习，因为他们获得了国家认可的证书. 雇主受益于训练有素的员工，提高忠诚度，减少人员流动.
COA’s Role
社区大学与当地雇主合作，定制课堂培训，以满足雇主的需求，并补充以工作为基础的学习. 这种合作使雇主能够培训员工以胜任特定的角色. Your local community college may:
- Provide crucial support, such as curriculum development, and deliver related instruction to apprentices
- 帮助制定课程，让学徒在完成后获得文凭和证书
- 提供赠款资金，用于支付特定行业的教育援助
- 作为雇主提供学徒教育的资源伙伴
- 为学徒提供潜在的经济援助

Why Should I Choose an Apprenticeship?
学徒制是通往成功职业生涯的另一条很好的途径. Benefits of apprenticeship include:
- 提供实践学习和与工作相关的课堂或技术培训
- Wages that increase as new skills are learned
- Earn national credentials, certifications, or college degrees
- 启动你的事业，在学习的同时养活自己和家人

Is an Apprenticeship Right for Me or My Student?
并不是每个学生都想立即进入大学获得四年的学位. For students that prefer hands-on learning, want to go right to work, prefer to stay closer to family, or would like their education partly or fully paid for, apprenticeship can be the right choice. In some cases, employers pay for 100 percent of the training costs; in others, 社区学院与雇主合作，以获得支付这些费用的拨款.
我们经常有父母或监护人说学徒制听起来好得令人难以置信. It’s not. Apprenticeship is a win-win for employers and students.
How Does an Apprenticeship Work?
Most apprenticeships range from one to four years, 学徒在完成课程后获得国家认可的证书(或学徒证书). The training programs are structured, 大多数课程都包括实践和课堂教育. 学徒的工资是根据学习时间和工作时间计算的，其中包括特定成就点的工资增长.
