In other words: no college debt. Apprenticeships are typically offered through a trade union, which also means that upon acceptance, you will realize other benefits, such as healthcare insurance and enrollment in a pension program.<\/p>\n<p>While many programs allow online application submissions, some require you to apply in person, or require an in-person interview after passing an assessment test of your reading and math skills. Apprenticeship requirements may vary from one union to the next. Below are some general requirements listed by many apprenticeship programs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Must be 18 years of age<\/li>\n<li>Must have sufficient physical fitness to perform required work<\/li>\n<li>Have a high school diploma or a G.E.D. certificate<\/li>\n<li>Be a U.S. citizen or in the process of naturalization<\/li>\n<li>Participate in a personal interview<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is a compilation of registered apprenticeship programs offered throughout the State of Minnesota for those who would like to pursue a career in the skilled construction trades. For more information about apprenticeships, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/constructioncareers.org\/apprenticeship\/\">Apprenticeship<\/a> page of ConstructionCareers.org, a website by Construction Career Pathways designed to help high school students better understand careers in construction.<\/p>\n<p>Please note: Apprenticeship application deadlines are constantly changing.
