What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship is a flexible employer-driven training model that combines on-the-job training, with job-related instruction. As apprentices progress through the program, they earn incremental wage increases and nationally recognized credentials. Apprentices can be new hires, or businesses can select current employees who need skill upgrades. The apprenticeship model is leading the way in preparing American workers to compete in today’s economy.
What are Registered Apprenticeships?
The National Apprenticeship Act of 1917 and two Executive Orders in the 1930s authorized the Federal government in cooperation with state governments to oversee and develop Register Apprenticeship programs. Half of the nation’s programs fall under the oversight of the Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship while the other half must follow federal guidance but are regulated by individual State Apprenticeship Agencies. All programs are required to follow Federal and State standards while protecting the safety and welfare of apprentices. Additionally, a Registered Apprenticeship must yield a nationally recognized credential upon completion of the program. Today one of the most significant value of the DOL and State Agencies is the promotion of the apprenticeship model to both job seekers and employers.
Traditional Education vs. Apprenticeship Programs
Traditional education does not guarantee employment. Many students complete a long program to earn a certificate and are unable to find a job. Cost of tuition continues to climb and many students find themselves deep in student loan debt.
ACS apprenticeship programs first provide full-time employment. Once in your job, you participate in training both on the job and classroom. Training is sponsored by employers and do not cost the apprentices a dime.
It should be noted that colleges often partner with apprenticeships by providing the classroom instruction for the program.

Veterans in Apprenticeship
GI Bill Benefits
Veterans eligible for GI Bill benefits may use their benefits while participating in an approved apprenticeship program. Veterans who utilize the GI Bill will receive a monthly housing allowance (MHA) in addition to their apprenticeship wages. The MHA issued will be a percentage of the Department of Defense Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for an E-5 with dependents (based on the location of the employer).
Additionally, Post-9/11 GI Bill recipients will receive up to $83 per month for books and supplies. The monthly housing allowance and books and supplies stipend will be further prorated based on the Veteran’s eligibility percentage. Veterans already participating in a Registered Apprenticeship at the time of application may be eligible to receive up to 12 months of retroactive MHA and books and supplies stipend.
