    WHAT IS APPRENTICESHIP MINNESOTA?
    Apprenticeship Minnesota helps employers develop and register apprenticeship programs and promote workforce diversity through outreach and education. Minnesota’s apprenticeship program allows employers to design their own apprenticeship program that provides apprentices with specific skills, training, and job-related instruction tailored to the company’s needs.

    WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP?
