RAP (Registered Apprenticeship Program)

Register as a RAP apprentice and get a head-start on your career. Your employer will give you an inside look at your chosen trade to help you decide if that trade is right for you.

Work in the trade of your choice

As you work, you will earn:

  • Wages,
  • High school credit, and
  • On-the-job apprenticeship hours for a head-start toward journeyperson certification after high school.

When you complete high school:

  • Your RAP apprenticeship ends,
  • You are automatically registered as a regular apprentice, and
  • The on-the-job hours you earned while in RAP are applied to your apprenticeship program.
