Apprentice programs provide an opportunity for students to train for a career and attend College of DuPage. Apprentices can also:

• Earn a wage, receive health care benefits, paid time off and other employment benefits.
• Receive wage increases as skills increase or set milestones are reached.
• Begin a career and earn college credits.
• Graduate with no college debt since employers pay for the full cost of the student’s program courses, labs and fees.
• Most apprentices will earn both a Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship certificate as well as a College of DuPage Academic certificate.
