Apprenticeships Open to Work-Authorized Immigrants

Registered apprenticeships are now open to work-authorized immigrants in the United States, offering a clear legal pathway for employment. Any legal worker who meets the basic requirements is eligible to participate, alongside U.S. citizens.

The program provides on-the-job training and classroom instruction in various trades and industries. Participants earn wages while learning skills that lead to a recognized credential.

This initiative aims to expand the talent pool for employers and provide immigrants with a structured route to stable careers. It does not change immigration status but relies on existing work authorization.
