An apprenticeship is a method of training based on an arrangement between an employee (apprentice) and an employer or joint apprenticeship training committee. The program is a system of learning while earning and learning by doing. It combines training on the job with related and supplemental instruction in a classroom setting. The content of the training, both on the job and related instruction, is defined and dictated by the needs of a particular industry.Ivy Tech is Committed to the Skilled Trades.
