IREC has recently launched a new online course, Apprenticeship Ready: Exploring Registered Apprenticeship Career Pathways. This self-paced online program prepares students and career seekers to make informed decisions about entering clean energy occupations through Registered Apprenticeship pathways—a federally recognized, earn-while-you-learn training model that combines paid on-the-job learning with technical instruction.
Throughout the course, learners will use the Clean Energy Registered Apprenticeship Playbook (a personal career planning workbook) to document their learning, assess skills, identify barriers and solutions, and build a step-by-step action plan tailored to their situation.
Upon completion of the course learned earn a digital Apprenticeship Ready badge—a verifiable, portable digital record of the specific skills, knowledge, and career readiness they’ve built.
The course costs $49, but IREC is currently offering it for free thanks to support from the Invest in Our Future Foundation. To register for free, follow these instructions:
