Are NEAT apprentices paid during their training?

NEAT apprentices receive compensation during their training, which is a fundamental aspect of the apprenticeship model. This model emphasizes a combination of work experience and classroom instruction, allowing apprentices to earn while they learn. Compensation is provided to ensure that apprentices can support themselves financially as they acquire the necessary skills and knowledge in their chosen field.

It's important to recognize the benefits of this system: it not only offers financial independence for apprentices but also motivates them to engage fully in both on-the-job training and classroom learning. This emphasizes the value placed on skilled trades and the investment in the apprentices’ future careers.
