The U.S. Department of Labor defines “a Pre-apprenticeship program as a program or set of strategies designed to prepare individuals for entry into Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAP) or other job opportunities. Pre-apprenticeships may last from a few weeks to a few months and may or may not include wages or stipend. Pre-apprenticeship programs have varied program elements; however, at the core, places an individual on a pathway to employability through a RAP.” (https://www.apprenticeship.gov/help/what-pre-apprenticeship)
