IT Apprenticeships

    IT Apprenticeship is a New Approach to Building Talent for your Company

    NPower has pioneered an IT Generalist, Cybersecurity Support Technician, and Software Developer Apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) to offer a nationally recognized credential to our graduates and to support your company’s entry-level technology-related recruitment goals.

    What is an Apprenticeship?

    An Apprenticeship is a career pathway that helps build a robust talent pipeline for employers. Apprentices receive Related Training Instruction (RTI) through NPower’s training programs and employers provide On the Job Training (OJT) to help develop the Apprentice’s skills and competencies. Through our registered apprenticeship program, Apprentices will also receive a nationally recognized credential in the occupation in which they work.

    Apprenticeship is Good for Business

    • Helps recruit and develop a highly skilled workforce
    • Improves productivity and the bottom line
    • Provides opportunities for tax credits and employee tuition benefits in some states
    • Reduces turnover costs & increases employee retention
    • Creates industry-driven and flexible training solutions to meet national and local needs

    "For every dollar spent on apprenticeship, employers get an average of $1.47 back in increased productivity."

    —U.S. DOL
