Some registered Washington apprenticeships give veterans direct entry into their programs. An apprenticeship pays you while you learn, combining on-the-job training under a journey-level professional with classroom instruction, and ends in a professional credential recognized nationwide. You may also be able to use VA education benefits toward books, supplies and housing costs while you train.
