What is Apprenticeship?

At Sussex Tech, we call it the “Other Four Year Degree.” It is the best way to learn a skilled trade. An apprenticeship program combines daily hands-on training though your sponsoring employer with related classroom instruction in the evenings at Sussex Tech Adult Division. It is a formal system of learning and practicing your chosen career trade.

State Registered Apprentices

Regardless of experience, if you are presently employed and working in your chosen occupation, your employer can sponsor you to become a State of Delaware or Maryland registered apprentice. State registered apprentices who reside in Delaware or work for a Delaware company may attend the related instruction classes at Sussex Tech, TUITION FREE.
Notice: Applicants for apprenticeship training must have a signed apprenticeship agreement by August 31st in order to qualify for tuition-free training.

To sponsor an employee as a "state registered apprentice" an employer must contact:

Delaware Department of Labor
