The primary purpose of the Apprenticeship Program is to offer temporary on-the-job training opportunities throughout County Departments in a variety of occupational areas, while simultaneously developing quality internal candidates. The Apprenticeship Program is an effective tool for broadening individuals’ existing knowledge, skills, and abilities to be competitive candidates for regular County careers and provide them with opportunities for upward career mobility and longevity, while continuing their service to the public.
