Where do you start? 1 There are two options: Option 1 is to join as existing program as a training agent Option 2 is to start a new apprenticeship program as a sponsor
Option 1: Training Agent The quickest and easiest way to be part of an apprenticeship. A training works with an existing sponsor to provide the on-the-job training, but the sponsor manages the majority of the apprenticeship management activities and holds the standard.
What if there are no existing programs that meet the needs of my company?
