Apprenticeships
Established in September 2019, the Alabama Office of Apprenticeship (AOA) is a tool in the workforce development toolbox of our state. The mission of the Alabama Office of Apprenticeship (AOA) is to expand the use of registered apprenticeships (RAs) and Alabama industry recognized apprenticeship programs (AIRAPs) in order to provide high-quality career training which will enable workers and employers to prosper in pursuit of the continued economic development of our state.
The AOA registers apprenticeship programs, offers technical assistance for the creation of programs, provides support for accessing state and federal assistance with programs, and conducts ongoing monitoring of program quality and compliance with state and federal law.
To find out more about apprenticeships and the ways the AOA is working to expand them, visit AL Apprentice or call 334-280-4414.
Every community or technical college in Alabama now offers at least one paid, state-registered apprenticeship for students to explore careers in several different trades and industries.
A partnership between the state community college system and Alabama Office of Apprenticeship (AOA) now allows more students to gain paid, on-the-job experience while working toward a degree. All apprentices participating in state-registered programs will be paid while they are training on the job, will have the remainder of their tuition paid by their employer, and can transition directly into full-time work after they earn their credentials.
Interested applicants should contact the community college of choice for additional information. Sites are hyperlinked in the title of each post-secondary institution listing.
