When you think of apprenticeships, you might think of someone college-aged, perhaps in a mechanic’s shop, but apprenticeships have changed significantly over the past decade, and it’s time to look at the reality of age limit on apprenticeships.

Apprenticeships Are Now Commonplace.

According to the US Department of Labor, there was a 64% growth in apprenticeships between 2012 and 2021. That number will continue to rise as college becomes more expensive. 

Technology apprenticeships are also growing for the easy reason that they work for everyone involved! Companies with technology apprenticeship programs can bring fresh talent onboard for less wage than an experienced counterpart. The company can employ more apprentices and train them in their own way, with specific emphasis that works for them. The apprentice gets training, experience, and employment opportunities while receiving a salary. 

For an apprentice in the technology sector, an apprenticeship is more likely to offer training in skill sets that are fully operable today rather than a college that teaches skill sets that will be obsolete by graduation.

Age Limits

There is only one age limit on apprenticeships: the minimum age. You have to be 18 years or older to register for an apprenticeship. 

One of the many beauties of an apprenticeship program is that they are open to anyone. This means you will be in a program with people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. This diversity is proving extremely beneficial to companies that run apprenticeships as they recognize collective creativity. 

Many veterans choose to join the Tech One IT Technology Apprenticeship Program as they transition out of the military. Usually, these veterans are older than college-bound individuals. Their military training is highly sought after, and they are highly valued members of our apprenticeship teams.
