Research Purpose The purpose of this report is to examine apprenticeships as an effective on-the-job training method that combines both active learning as well as classroom instruction. This report will also explore how apprenticeship programs can further attract interested individuals, and bring them in to fill the jobs that have recently hit a shortage. The report will go into great detail on the benefits offered to those individuals pursuing interest in apprenticeship programs. The idea of an apprenticeship is something many University and College students have heard of in passing at info sessions, however often lacking in expanded detail.. An apprenticeship can vastly benefit an individual, and everyone should be informed of its advantages. This topic sparked an interest because in personal experience, hands-on learning is both extremely effective, and very engaging.
