Articulation Agreements
Have you thought about further education after you complete apprenticeship? Articulation Agreements show what credit you have already earned toward construction related degrees. They may apply only to the specific programs, county school district or community college you were registered with.

On-the-Job-Training
Every apprentice participating in a registered apprenticeship program enters into an Apprenticeship Agreement. The apprenticeship program sponsor and the apprentice agree to the terms of the Apprenticeship Standards incorporated as part of the Agreement. The on-the-job component is structured, supervised on-the-job training consisting of at least 2,000 hours depending on the occupation. The actual on-the-job training is outlined in the Apprenticeship Standards. The apprentice is supervised during the term of the apprenticeship by a skilled craft worker(s). The supervisor reviews, evaluates and maintains records relating to the apprentice's job performance. Upon entry into the apprenticeship program, apprentice(s) are paid a progressively increasing schedule of wages. As the apprentice(s) demonstrate satisfactory progress in both the on-the-job training and related instruction, they are advanced in accordance with the wage schedule as outlined in the registered Apprenticeship Standards.
Workforce Development
Workforce Florida, Inc. was created by Governor Jeb Bush and the Florida Legislature with the passage of the Workforce Innovation Act of 2000, Chapter 445, Florida Statutes. A 45-member board appointed by the Governor oversees and monitors the administration of the state's workforce policy, programs and services carried out by the 24 business-led Regional Workforce Boards and the Agency for Workforce Innovation. Direct services are provided at nearly 100 One-Stop Centers with locations in every county in the state. This innovative approach to workforce development in Florida is illustrated in the model below.
