Registered Apprenticeships can last from one to five years, requiring a minimum of 2,000 hours of on-the-job training per year as well as 144 hours of classroom instruction per year of apprenticeship. Apprenticeships offer scheduled wage increases as the apprentice gains skill and knowledge.

Apprenticeship opportunities in Maryland are available in a wide variety of industries, from the traditional trades to industries including Mental Health and Information Technology.
