Pre-apprenticeship programs are designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in a Registered Apprenticeship and ultimately a
career.

Beginning in the fall of 2020, the Alabama Office of Apprenticeship (AOA) will offer certification of pre-apprenticeship programs. This certification process has three goals.

  1. Establish, enhance, and formalize connections between work-based learning and training programs with sponsors of registered apprenticeships.

  2. Provide an assurance to employers and apprenticeship sponsors the training is high-quality.

  3. Ensure participants the training, experience, and certifications earned will be creditable toward completion of a registered apprenticeship.
