Apprendiceships/On-the-Job-Training
Apprenticeship Training

- May include theoretical related instruction.
- Normally two to five years in length (normally full-time).
- Occupation clearly identified and commonly recognized throughout an industry.
On-the-Job-Training

How to Begin
- Determine the occupations within your company that may be trained by apprenticeship or on-the-job training programs.
- Determine whether veterans, eligible dependents, National Guardsmen, or Reservists are currently employed in any of those positions. As a general rule, veterans have ten (10) years after their separation or eligibility to use their benefits.
- Contact the Veterans State Approvals function of the Commission to determine if those programs can be approved.
- Schedule a visit from one of our specialist to complete the required forms, and enroll the individual(s).
