Phil Murphy, Governor Robert Asaro-Angelo, Commissioner Looking to launch a promising career? Need to sharpen your skills? Earn while you learn with registered apprenticeship Apprentices receive a combination of on-the-job training (OJT) and related technical instruction (RTI) to master the practical and theoretical aspects of a skilled occupation in hundreds of fields from trades in construction to culinary services. On-the-job training (OJT) During the on-the-job training, apprentices learn to do increasingly difficult tasks under the supervision of an experienced journey worker. OJT typically involves a full eight-hour work day, or at least 2,000 hours a year for each year of the apprenticeship program. Apprenticeship programs normally last between four and six years, with four years being the average. Related technical instruction (RTI) In the related technical instruction portion of the program, apprentices attend classes at a community or technical college or other training institution. Classes are normally taught in the evening after a regular eight-hour workday, although some programs involve daytime or weekend classes. Apprentices take at least 144 hours of related technical instruction per year, for each year of the apprenticeship program. How can I apply? Applying for an apprenticeship program is similar to applying for a job. The businesses or labor organizations that sponsor apprentices invest considerable time and money in each apprentice. The selection process is designed to identify applicants who are both capable of success and committed to completing the program. Although entrance requirements vary by program, applicants may be required to take aptitude or skills tests, have a high school diploma, have work experience in a related field, and be interviewed by a selection committee.
