Apprenticeship Iredell is a partnership between local industries and Mitchell Community College, where apprentices are hired by an industry partner and receive paid on-the job training while attending Mitchell to earn a selected credential.
Apprenticeships are experiential learning and have three main components: on-the-job training, related instruction, and rewards for skills gained.
Structured On-The-Job Training: As an apprentice you are an employee of one of our industry partners. You will work side by side with a company mentor learning valuable hands on skills. Your employer and mentor will provide support for you throughout your apprenticeship.
Related Instruction: As an apprentice, to help make sure you are gaining all the skills needed to be successful, you will also enroll in courses at Mitchell Community College. Your Apprenticeship Occupation determines the length of the apprenticeship program. It is important to note that you must meet any requirements for you program as required by Mitchell Community Colelge.
Rewards for Skill Gains: As an apprentice you are guaranteed a wage increase as you process through the program successfully.
These three components come together to create a strong foundation to build your future.
Mitchell Community College provides the related instruction for Iredell County partners in a variety of occupations.

Work Based Learning allows you as a student to receive course credit for working within your course of study. Work based learning varies by program of study.
