IBM's industry-leading Apprenticeship program is a new talent pipeline for IBM--and it's been growing rapidly since its launch in October 2017. Registered apprenticeships are a proven approach for preparing workers for jobs while meeting the needs of a business for a highly skilled workforce. It is a "learn while you earn" model that combines on-the-job training with job-related instruction, tied to the attainment of national skills standards. The model also involves progressive increases in an apprentice's skills and wages.

Apprenticeships can vary in length and are designed based on the needs of the business. The majority of IBM registered Apprenticeships in the U.S. are between 12-24 months in length, and are designed as competency-based programs, so an apprentice could complete their apprenticeship more quickly if they are able to demonstrate aptitude.
