An apprenticeship is a unique education opportunity where students gain specific skills and knowledge related to a trade/craft. Training combines supervised daily on-the-job instruction with classroom instruction. There are two types of colleges: two-year and four-year. Both types of institutions offer a variety of programs and degrees that can lead to employment in good-paying jobs. The five branches of the United States Military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard) provide unique career training and often generous financial aid programs for college. |
