On-The-Job Training and Apprenticeship

• Our goal is to promote the apprenticeship system and provide current information on apprenticeship programs in West Virginia and surrounding areas. Apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and related classroom instruction in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation.
• The Hershey Company launches industrial manufacturing technician apprenticeship. Dan's Southside Marine launches motor technician program for 6 apprentices.

Advance your employment prospects by learning a trade or skill through participation in VA on-the-job training or apprenticeships. These programs typically involve entering into a training contract for a specific period of time with an employer or union. At the end of the training period, a job certification is issued or journeyman status achieved. Most Veterans receive a salary from the employer or union during training. As your skills increase, so may your salary. GI Bill payments are issued monthly after VA receives certification of hours worked from your employer or union.
