Apprentice learn their trade through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the job training.

Approximately half of the apprentice work is in the construction trades: however, apprenticeship programs are available in over 1,000 different occupations. Popular apprenticeship occupations include brick layer, carpenter, chef, electrician, painter, plumber, roofer, tool and die maker and truck driver.
