Apprenticeship Program Similar to a cooperative
education program, an apprenticeship program combines
work experiences with education. The primary
difference between the two programs is that in an
apprenticeship program students attend classes in
the evening after completing a day’s work. During this
rigorous training program, you receive a decent hourly
wage and plenty of good experience. You start the
program as a helper to an experienced technician and
can begin to do more on your own as you progress
through the program. Most apprenticeship programs
take 2 years to complete. Automobile manufacturers
and dealers often sponsor these programs.
