COST OF REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP
Registered apprentices are paid wages while they learn and as a
rule, these apprentices are mentored and supervised by the person
responsible for the training and development of that individual. The
concept of the structured on-the-job training is one that allows the
apprentice to be productive while developing and learning new
skills in the performance of that job and/or occupation. This is a winwin proposition for the employer and the apprentice as the apprentice
wages are designed to increase as his/her individual productivity
increases. The usual starting rate for the apprentice is generally 50%
of the minimum hourly rate for the occupation. These wage
progressions are set up on an incremental basis and tied to the
successful completion of the apprentice’s training/full certification.
