You could apply to GAP starting as early as the fall of your junior or senior year of high school. If accepted, you could start getting paid on-the-job training before you even graduate. Additionally, the cost of all tuition, books, and fees to attend Guilford Technical Community College following high school are covered as well.

Throughout your apprenticeship, you’ll earn a competitive hourly wage that increases as you progress through the program. Once you’ve completed the apprenticeship, you’ll have earned an associate’s degree from Guilford Technical Community College. If you’d like to continue on to earn a bachelor’s degree, your associate degree credits are eligible for transfer to most state 4-year universities.
