Stacey Winconek at ACHR News reports that Apprenticeships offer a mix of education and hands-on training - all while earning a salary.  Those who want to enter the Signatory Sheet Metal Industry will have to complete an Apprenticeship.  When it comes to what to expect, Jeff Reinhardt, Executive Administrator at Western Washington Sheet Metal JATC, offers insight: Apprentices start out making $27 per hour and as long as they meet their criteria, they will see a 5% increase every six months.  "At the end of it, they're considered a Journeyman and they're registered with the State of Washington as a recognized Journeyman.  And at this point, they're making about ($60) an hour on their check."
