Trade Schools vs Apprenticeships
While both trades schools and apprenticeships provide an excellent learning path, they are fundamentally different. Apprenticeships are hands-on work opportunities alongside classroom training, while trade schooling is conducted entirely in a classroom environment.
Our SWPTA Apprentices benefit from the following advantages:
- More hands-on training right away
- Exposure to real-world labor scenarios
- Paid learning experience
- Apprentices earn higher wages
- Education gained with no debt
- Economical learning program
- Creates a pathway towards your career
- No need for a four-year degree
