 Apprenticeships are paid arrangements that give individuals opportunities to obtain workplace-relevant knowledge, education, experience, training and other valuable skills to prepare them for careers in their chosen industry. Individuals who participate in an Apprenticeship program receive hands-on career training while earning a paycheck, reducing their need to take on debt while working towards their future career!

The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program provides a variety of benefits for workers who have lost their jobs due to foreign competition and their company has been certified as being trade impacted by the US Department of Labor (USDOL). Possible benefits include retraining, job search assistance, relocation assistance, extensions of Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits and/or a wage subsidy if you are 50 years of age or older and start a full time job that pays less than your trade certified employment.


More About TAA

With assistance from a local workforce center or the Unemployment Insurance Division, individuals receiving Unemployment benefits may be able to continue receiving benefits and have the number of required weekly job contacts reduced or removed while enrolled in approved training. Approved training plans must focus on short-term training programs for occupations that are in-demand and lead to stable long-term jobs. Contact a Workforce Center for more information on UI training options.
