Apprenticeship Randolph is an earn and learn program – one cannot take place without the other…. successful participation in AR is dependent on passing college coursework and implementing a strong work ethic. Pre-apprentices and apprentices are expected to work hard in school and on the job, continually learning, from instructors and mentors, and most of all, following safety procedures.
