Under the Programmes, employers enter contractual arrangements with apprentices and trainees to provide training for a specific period, at the end of which, if successful, the apprentices or trainees are offered employment by the employer. Essentially, an employer provides employed apprentices and trainees contracts of employment and wages, whilst they train to become qualified technicians. Government may fund the formal training and learning at local or overseas accredited technical training institutions.

Apprentices gain real world experience while they learn a skilled trade. They also learn the practical academic skills that support their trade. Successful apprentices also earn international certification. Better still, they earn a salary while they learn.

Apprenticeships are available in these occupations:

• Air Conditioning/ Refrigeration Technology
• Carpentry Technology
• Motor Vehicle Mechanics Technology
• Electrical Wiring
• Horticulture
• Plumbing Technology
• Masonry/Construction

In the future, apprenticeships may also be combined with the Associate of Applied Technology degree, offered by the Bermuda College.
