In various parts of the world, the opportunity to earn money while you learn is very much a reality. This is a great way for people who already know the career path they want to take.
Not all apprenticeships are paid, but a large number of them are. In the United States, most apprenticeships offered are in trade work, such as in plumbing, cooking, electronics, or mechanic work.
However, more and more paid training is provided in the U.S. for those who want to pursue fields in information technology, media production, computer programming and so on. However, these seem to be more prevalent right now in the UK and in Australia.
The types of apprenticeships you can apply for depend upon your age. For some you need to be at least 18 in order to be able to work in hazardous conditions. Other apprenticeships are designed to help young people ages 16 to 24 work in a specified profession.
The availability of apprenticeships depends upon where you are located. However, if you are open to moving you would have more opportunity made available to you. Different opportunities are available in different states.
In order to find out which opportunities are available in your state you can contact your local Office of Apprenticeship. You can find this information on the U.S. Department of Labor website.
A national apprenticeship organization is available as well. Also, if you are a freelance worker it is possible for you to find work via unions. This is often very controversial. However, you are often likely to earn more and will often be provided benefits if you do work for one.
If you want to find out what apprenticeships are available in the profession of your choice you can also search for career-specific opportunities posted online. If no apprenticeships are available in your area you also could access experience via internships.
However, most of the time you do not earn money while interning, although this experience could lead to a paid position. Other times you can find residency programs available in the field of your choice as well. These are often made available to persons working in a creative field, such as writing, photography, or art.
How these usually work is that you are offered a place to stay in exchange for rights of your creative work. Either that or you are offered a place to stay in lieu of an income in exchange for other types of volunteer work done.
Your current job may also help you with tuition reimbursement or even pay for schooling outright. This will provide you with the chance to make more money on the job than you do at this time.
In order to be able to earn while you learn you need to positive a positive attitude and also need to be able to commit to a specific amount of time. Usually the time period for apprenticeship workers is one to five years.
