APPRENTICESHIP DEFINED: What is Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships combine on-the-job-training with classroom instruction. Workers who join these programs are called apprentices. If you are accepted into an apprenticeship program, you'll learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a skilled trade.
Not only will you learn new skills, but you'll get paid to do it. Pay is on an increasing scale, based on the typical hourly wage for the occupation chosen. You'll receive "raises" as you satisfactorily progress through the training.
In the case of the Surveyors Apprenticeship, a commitment is made by the apprentice, the employer, the labor union, and the regulatory agencies who enter into an agreement to assure proper training. The term of the agreement varies amongst apprenticeships; however, the Surveyors Apprenticeship Program is approximately a four-year program.
After successful completion, you will receive an Apprenticeship Completion Certificate, which earns you nationwide recognition as a qualified journeywoman or journeyman (skilled worker). It is one of the oldest and most portable industry credentials, which, as a surveyor, makes you eligible to work anywhere in the world.
