We are gearing up for National Apprenticeship Week! Apprenticeships are paid work opportunities that combine on-the-job training with job-related education, and they can sometimes lead to direct hiring! While they can be especially helpful for young adults transitioning into adulthood, you can also have an apprenticeship if you are looking for a new career. They are for ALL age groups. Some apprenticeships can be physically demanding, so it’s important to understand the essential job requirements — and remember that accommodations may help you meet them successfully. Ticket Program service providers can help you search for an apprenticeship that matches your career goals, as well as offer interview preparation assistance and continuous supports to help you succeed in the workplace. 👉 Read our latest blog: choosework.ssa.gov/blog/2026-04-2… #NAW2026 #ApprenticeshipUSA
