Cincinnati apprenticeship programs help fill skilled trade industries that are often forgotten.

 A lot of industries are unable to stay in local communities because they can’t fill jobs. For years, parents and high schools have pushed 4-year colleges onto their children and students, but what about trades? Manufacturing, electrical, construction, information technology and healthcare industries are constantly looking for qualified people to fill open positions that allow growth in the company, financial stability and do not require a college degree. Cincinnati apprenticeship programs help fill those positions. 

Emsi reports job seekers looking for good places to launch their careers should consider three areas in particular: arts, skilled trades, and sciences. Below is a list Cincinnati apprenticeship programs that not only teach you a trade but lead you to financial stability.
