Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship

Apprenticeship is a structured system of training designed to prepare individuals for skilled occupations by combining on-the-job training with related instruction. Apprentices earn while they learn and their skills are nationally recognized. For 100 years, skilled trades have used Apprenticeship to train certified skilled workers and ensure their standard of training.
