This week’s graphic tackles apprenticeship.

What is Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships are rigorous training programs that combine in-class and on-the-job training for workers in a specific trade. Apprenticeships help train new workers, retrain current workers, and allow the industry to adapt to emerging technologies. This graphic explains the pipeline to construction jobs with and without apprenticeships, and illustrates the construction career ladder. For more graphics on on how the construction industry works, download Beyond Green Jobs.
