MHE Graduate Apprenticeship Program

Every full-time MHE student is hired as a paid graduate apprentice on the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ campus. The apprenticeship is an integral part of the MHE program’s emphasis on integrating students’ in-and-out-of-class learning, with students applying what they learn in their courses to their apprenticeship work. Likewise, students’ apprenticeship experiences are designed to deepen students’ academic and professional knowledge.

Apprenticeship Stipend and Application Process

The apprenticeship is a two-year, half-time appointment (not including summers) with reappointment for the second-year contingent upon satisfactory completion of academic and apprenticeship requirements. Apprenticeship stipends are paid in equal installments over the 10 months (August-May) of their apprenticeship each year and can be used in whatever manner the student chooses (e.g., living expenses, textbooks, etc.). Apprenticeship stipends are considered income and therefore are taxable.

The following apprenticeships are available for fall 2027:
