Say where you live, what you like doing, and where you are in life. In a few seconds you get the registered apprenticeships that fit, roughly what they pay while you train, what to bring to the application, and the official list to check. No account. Nothing stored.
Free — takes 30 seconds
Your county, what you are good at or curious about, and anything that matters — a car or not, a record, kids, a diploma or GED, English level.
Why this exists
Most people never hear about apprenticeships because nobody sells them. The programs are real, registered with the state and the federal government, and the pay rises on a schedule. This finds the ones that fit and tells you what to do this week.
How it works
County, what you like, your situation. Nothing is saved.
Two or three trades, what they pay while you train, what you need — in English or Spanish.
The statement, the checklist, the prep plan and the phone script, in the full version.
Plans
The free version tells you what fits and where to verify. The application pack writes your statement, your checklist and your 4-week prep plan.
The full match plus a one-page personal statement in your voice, the document checklist, a 4-week prep plan and the phone script. Printable.
For a high-school counselor, a church jobs ministry, a reentry program or a trade school that wants every student to leave with a plan.
All prices in USD, handled by Stripe. Finding programs never goes behind a paywall.
Common questions
No — Apprenticeship Finder FL is not career, legal or financial advice and it can be wrong, so it cannot promise admission or a job. It names program types, not specific programs, and points you to the real listings on Apprenticeship.gov and the Florida Department of Education apprenticeship list to verify. What strengthens an application is a math refresher, an OSHA-10 card, a pre-apprenticeship, or simply showing up in person to the sponsor.
Registered apprentices are paid from day one on a wage schedule that rises as they gain skills, commonly starting around 40–60% of the journey-level rate, according to Apprenticeship.gov — how it works. The tool never states a specific dollar wage for a program, so ask the sponsor directly what the starting wage is before you apply.
The finder itself is free and needs no account — nothing you paste is stored. There are optional paid add-ons listed in the plans: an Application pack for $9 for one applicant, and a $49-per-month option for schools, churches and programs; using the free finder does not require either.
A record does not bar most apprenticeships. That said, some sponsors have drug-testing or driver's-license requirements, and some jobsites — utilities or federal work, for example — run background checks, so it is worth asking the sponsor directly what applies to their program.
Typically 1 to 5 years depending on the trade — electrical and plumbing commonly run 4–5 years, HVAC 3–5, and many healthcare and IT programs 1–2 years. The exact term is set by each sponsor, so check the sponsor's own listing on Apprenticeship.gov or the Florida Department of Education list before you rely on any number.
No — Apprenticeship Finder FL no es asesoría profesional, legal ni financiera y puede equivocarse, así que no puede prometerle admisión ni un empleo. La herramienta nombra tipos de programa, no programas específicos, y lo remite a los listados oficiales en Apprenticeship.gov y en la lista de aprendizajes del Departamento de Educación de la Florida para verificar. Lo que fortalece una solicitud es un repaso de matemáticas, una certificación OSHA-10, un preaprendizaje, o simplemente presentarse en persona ante el patrocinador.
Los aprendices registrados reciben salario desde el primer día, según una escala que sube conforme adquieren destrezas, comúnmente empezando alrededor del 40–60% de la tarifa de oficial, de acuerdo con Apprenticeship.gov — cómo funciona. La herramienta nunca indica un salario exacto en dólares para un programa en particular, así que pregúntele directamente al patrocinador cuál es el salario inicial antes de solicitar.
El buscador en sí es gratuito y no requiere cuenta — nada de lo que usted escriba se guarda. Existen opciones pagas señaladas en los planes: un paquete de solicitud por $9 para un solicitante, y una opción de $49 al mes para escuelas, iglesias y programas; usar el buscador gratuito no requiere ninguna de las dos.
Tener antecedentes no impide la mayoría de los aprendizajes. Dicho esto, algunos patrocinadores exigen pruebas de drogas o licencia de conducir, y algunos lugares de trabajo — como servicios públicos o empleos federales — hacen verificación de antecedentes, así que conviene preguntarle directamente al patrocinador qué aplica a su programa.
Por lo general de 1 a 5 años según el oficio — electricidad y plomería suelen durar de 4 a 5 años, aire acondicionado (HVAC) de 3 a 5, y muchos programas de salud y tecnología de 1 a 2 años. El plazo exacto lo fija cada patrocinador, así que confirme el listado del patrocinador en Apprenticeship.gov o en la lista del Departamento de Educación de la Florida antes de basarse en cualquier número.
