To enter an apprenticeship, individuals must apply for an A-SERT position with a participating employer. Individuals may apply for the apprenticeship without employment, but will not enter into an apprenticeship agreement until employment has been secured and the employer has registered the apprentice with A-SERT. A-SERT will assist applicants not yet working in the industry by providing access to a list of participating
employers and application procedures.

The application process begins by applying for the A-SERT Program.

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of employment.

A-SERT requires proof of high school graduation or equivalent to approve applications.
Applicants should submit their official high school transcripts, GED, or HSED certificate to A-SERT.

During the application process, applicants must indicate whether they are a current employee seeking apprenticeship with their current employer.

Applicants will receive communications from A-SERT acknowledging receipt of their application and instructions on the next steps.
