Welcome to Workforce Training’s Apprenticeship and Vocational Programs.
Idaho State University has a long history of offering certified U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Programs throughout southeast Idaho.
These Registered Apprenticeship Programs connect job seekers, who want to learn new skills, with employers looking for qualified workers. The job seekers, known as Apprentices, receive academic instruction and are paid for the work they perform during their on-the-job training. Completion of academic instruction and on-the-job training equips each Apprentice with a portable skill set for advancement in their chosen field.
