Missouri Apprenticeship Outcomes
Registered Apprenticeships are an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway in which workers can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a transferable credential while employers develop and prepare their future workforce. New P20W research explores the demographics, occupations, completions, and outcomes for apprentices in Missouri. Insights from the report show many apprenticeship occupations show strong wage outcomes, especially for those who fully complete the apprenticeship.
