Austin Community College (ACC) now offers two types of Apprenticeship programs: Registered Apprenticeships (RAP) recognized by the Department of Labor, and Industry Standard ACC Recognized Apprenticeships (IRAP). An apprenticeship is a structured system of job training designed to prepare individuals for a variety of occupations. It combines on-the-job industry skills standards with job-related classroom instruction. Apprenticeships are organized and managed in cooperation between educational institutions and employers. They are always paid positions associated with a curriculum, and are designed as a means for students to put theory into practice and master knowledge in a way that empowers them with professional autonomy. Apprenticeship programs are typically not course designations, but rather a sequence of courses organized into a degree or certificate plan.
