The Vermont Department of Labor has released an easy-to-use tool to help find local Registered Apprenticeship programs! This searchable, sortable table is ideal for filtering the programs by town, county, occupation, or even employer, and will be updated quarterly.
Employers & Sponsors, double-check the tool to ensure your information is correct. If you notice an error, please email [email protected].
There are over 600 programs on the list across nearly 550 employers! We've made it easier than ever to find a Registered Apprenticeship program near you.

Clean Energy Meets Registered Apprenticeships
On November 5, the VDOL Registered Apprenticeship Team attended Vermont's Energy Action Network Summit in Bolton. Clean energy is an area of growth opportunity for Registered Apprenticeships, and materials were shared with attendees about how to start a program and the benefits that could result. While there is no specific clean energy Registered Apprenticeship, many apprenticeable occupations contribute to the climate workforce. To learn what these occupations are, visit the Clean Energy Registered Apprenticeships webpage.
