Earn Credits for Apprenticeships

Registered Apprenticeships provide rigorous, hands-on, industry-based training that builds both technical expertise and durable skills valued across Michigan’s workforce. Through structured classroom instruction and on-the-job learning, apprentices develop the knowledge, discipline, problem-solving ability, and leadership potential needed to succeed in high-demand fields. Michigan community colleges continuously work to refine pathways that help students apply prior learning toward meaningful credentials. Apprenticeship learning may be recognized as college credit and applied toward an associate degree, helping apprenticeship completers build on the training they have already completed, reduce time to degree, and take the next step in their education without starting over.

Earning an associate degree can strengthen both technical and professional skills while supporting long-term career advancement. For individuals working in the trades, a degree can open doors to higher-level roles in supervision, instruction, project management, business ownership, and other leadership opportunities.
