The Office of Apprenticeship is dedicated to safeguarding the health and safety of Maryland’s apprentices and creating high-quality training opportunities for Maryland’s workers.
Becoming an Apprentice
The Office of Apprenticeship does not directly hire or place apprentices for employment. Prospective apprentices should visit our Become an Apprentice webpage to explore opportunities and contact the programs directly.
Apprentice Licensing

Questions about licensing, examinations, and other requirements can be directed to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing.
Some occupations, such as those in healthcare or education may be subject to licensing and training regulations from other agencies. In these cases, your employer will outline the specific requirements you need to meet.
