| 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. |
