Thank you for your interest in apprenticeships! 

Applying for an apprenticeship is a competitive process. This application is the first step

Here is how it works:

  1. After you complete your application, employers will review your submission and invite talent to an orientation. 
  2. After the orientation, companies will make their final selection and invite candidates to the summer pre-apprenticeship program. 
  3. If you successfully complete the pre-apprenticeship, you may receive an offer letter for an apprenticeship opportunity. 


If you are selected to participate in an apprenticeship, there are many benefits:

  • paid tuition to attend Central Piedmont
  • opportunity to earn a degree (Mechatronics or CNC Machining) *will vary based on employer
  • progressive wage (increases) throughout your apprenticeship
  • earn while you learn
  • long-term career growth opportunities in your selected industry


If that sounds good to you, please take a moment and fill out the application. Have your transcript handy as you will need to upload it.
