Registered apprenticeships in Arizona

Paid training programs: who can apply, when the window is, what they pay and what it costs, from each sponsor’s own page.

You get paid from day one: a registered apprenticeship is a job, and the classes come with it.
Of the 33 programs that list requirements, most ask you to have a high school diploma or GED (23) and be 18 or older (22). Some also ask you to have reliable transportation (12), pass algebra or a math test (9), pass a drug test (8) or hold a driver’s license or CDL (6).
Application windows open and close, and some programs only take applications on certain days. Check the sponsor’s own page before you go.
You can also find programs on the state’s list, kept by the Arizona Apprenticeship Office (DES) · full list of registered programs (PDF)
