The Apprentice School (VA)

With a 100-plus-year history, The Apprentice School provides students with classes and full-time employment in various shipbuilding trades. There is no tuition at the Virginia school; instead students earn $17.34 an hour in the first term of the program and up to $29.73 an hour upon completing the final term of the program. A typical apprenticeship lasts four to five years. Upon completion, students receive a certificate.
