Franklin University Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships create the ultimate win-win situation. Whether you’re at an organization seeking to combat frequent turnover and increase employee engagement or a student looking to deepen your learning and jump-start your career, an apprenticeship helps you achieve your goals.
Unlike internships, which are limited to one course, apprenticeships span nine courses so they translate well to a part-time or full-time job that complements the length of the degree program.
Information for Students
Build Your Expertise in the Classroom and on the Job
Maintain full-time employment while you complete you bachelor’s degree through Franklin’s Apprenticeship Program. Currently aligned degree programs include the B.S. in Cybersecurity and the B.S. in Information Technology. Recently approved by the state of Ohio and the U.S. Department of Labor, this opportunity lays the foundation for a career in a rewarding and fast-growing field.
- Complete your B.S. Cybersecurity or B.S. in Information Technology at Franklin University while working in the apprenticeship.
- Transfer in prior coursework to complete your degree faster.
- Complete nine courses in your major while getting your degree and tailor your coursework to meet your needs and interests.
- Earn regular pay increases as coursework and associated competencies are completed, as specified by the employer.
- Take advantage of additional funding toward the cost of tuition through employee tuition reimbursement or government funding from the Workforce Opportunity and Investment Act (WOIA) – if you are eligible
- Earn a nationally recognized apprenticeship credential from the U.S. Department of Labor
- Be eligible to work part time or full time for a qualified employer in a job that is aligned with the apprenticeship.
You can obtain the job at any point on the path toward your degree. While the job does not need to be categorized as an apprenticeship, the employer needs to agree to hire you as an apprentice. This would also apply if you currently have a job that aligns with apprenticeship requirements.
If you need assistance with your résumé or help finding a job that aligns with your degree program, contact Franklin’s Center for Career Development.
- Be eligible to enroll in one of the currently aligned degree programs.
- Maintain good academic standing and employment status for the duration of the program.
- Successfully complete all courses throughout the apprenticeship and meet competency benchmarks along the way.
- Facilitate tracking hours worked with your employer mentor and work a minimum of 2,000 hours for the employer.
- Academic dishonesty violations can impact your status as an apprentice with Franklin University.
- Notify the university of any employment status change.
- Apply to the Apprenticeship Program
- Apply for an aligned job, interview and get hired. The Center for Career Development can assist you.
- Email us that you have obtained a job, so that we communicate with your employer about the apprenticeship requirements. You can provide the employer with email information (apprenticeship@franklin.edu) to contact us directly.
- Sign and return the Apprenticeship Agreement.
- You can begin your hours, once we have:
- Confirmed your academic standing
- Your employer has agreed to hire you as an apprentice
- We have all agreements signed

We are continually seeking new partners for our apprenticeship program. The employers below have agreed to hire apprentices in aligned jobs.
Information for Employers
Fill Open Positions or Develop Current Employees
The struggle to attract, grow and retain talent is real. Through Franklin’s Apprenticeship Program, a Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) by the U.S. Department of Labor, your organization can fill vital positions or provide development opportunities for existing employees in information technology and cybersecurity.
- Be willing to hire a currently enrolled Franklin University student as an apprentice in one of your aligned positions either part time or full time.
- Assign someone from your organization as a mentor to the student. This is typically their supervisor.
- Allow the mentor to attend orientation/training on how to engage with the University and the student.
- Franklin can tailor the order of courses to some degree, but in general the student needs to be able to complete two or more courses together, as well as demonstrate competencies in front of their mentor, to achieve step increases.
- Consider allowing students/employees to obtain tuition reimbursement or sponsor their education entirely. Franklin provides free deferred billing for enrolled students who use tuition reimbursement benefits through their employers.
- Notify the University of any employment status change of the apprentice.
- Contact our apprenticeship coordinator.
- Sign a Memorandum of Understanding to sponsor an apprentice.
- Post your open positions on Franklin’s Center for Career Development web portal and indicate that they are eligible for the apprenticeship.
Email apprenticeship@franklin.edu if you have any questions or need assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are master’s students eligible to participate in Franklin’s Apprenticeship Program?
Let us know that this is an interest and we will explore getting a graduate degree apprenticeship approved, if we have additional students to consider.
When is the ideal time to start the apprenticeship?
It depends on the employer and the job. In some cases, you cannot start employment until you have some education underway. This does not mean that you cannot start if the employer is satisfied with your current education level and future goals. In some cases, students can start even when they are in the last stages of their degree.
Do I get college credit for the apprenticeship?
You get credit for the nine aligned courses that are required for the degree you are seeking. There are no additional credits for the apprenticeship.
Can international students participate in the apprenticeship?
It depends. If you are eligible for hire in the United States, then you can participate in the apprenticeship program but this is up to the employer to determine.
How do I get started in Franklin’s Apprenticeship Program?
- Apply to the Apprenticeship Program
- Schedule an appointment with the Center for Career Development for help with your résumé or your job search.
- Apply for multiple aligned jobs. Keep us updated on your progress.
Do you have a list of employers willing to hire apprentices?
Yes, we have a growing list of employers that can be found here. You are also welcome to seek out aligned jobs with other organizations.
