This career pathway benefits applicants, as they can gain real-world experience while learning and getting paid. Apprentices also get to build their portfolios with real-world examples to advance their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a job seeker with a non-traditional background, consider becoming an apprentice. Top companies like Google offer IT apprenticeships to help applicants advance their careers in tech. With high wages and personalized guidance from some of the top tech professionals in the country, apprenticeships are a great way to connect with people in your ideal industry and jumpstart a high-paying career in tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-is-apprenticeship-training\">How Long Is Apprenticeship Training?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The training period will depend on the apprenticeship program, but it typically lasts between one and five years. The length can also depend on your level of education, previous experience, and location. Some IT apprentices have classroom instruction and apprentice compensation, which makes the program take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, completing<a href=\"https:\/\/careers.linkedin.com\/reach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\"> LinkedIn&#8217;s Reach<\/a> Apprenticeship program takes up to five years, whereas completing Airbnb&#8217;s Connect Engineering Apprenticeship takes only six months.

These can include a high school diploma or trade school experience. Some programs, like IBM&#8217;s apprenticeship program, have no apprenticeship requirements. You can land the apprenticeship as long as you have the passion and commitment to learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other companies, like Microsoft, recruit apprentices with unconventional educational backgrounds. There are no standard apprenticeship qualifications, but instead a variety of programs for varied applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-a-coding-apprenticeship-typically-pay\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-a-coding-apprenticeship-typically-pay\"><\/span>What Does a Coding Apprenticeship Typically Pay?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-Fastest-Online-Information-Technology-Degrees-How-to-Get-Your-Information-Technology-Degree-Fast.jpg\" alt=\"An apprentice working at a high-paying apprenticeship.\" class=\"wp-image-119305\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">According to Glassdoor, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/software-engineer-apprentice-salary-SRCH_KO0,28.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\"> average salary for a software engineer apprentice in 2025<\/a> is $121,000.<sup>3<\/sup> However, earning potential varies greatly depending on the level of the apprenticeship, the company, the location, and the skills required to perform.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example,<a href=\"https:\/\/leap.microsoft.com\/en-US\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Microsoft Leap apprentices<\/a> earn around $10,000 per month, according to a<a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.careers.microsoft.com\/global\/en\/job\/1754336\/Software-Engineer:-Microsoft-Leap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Software Engineering apprenticeship job page<\/a> from August 2024.<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-coding-apprenticeships\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"types-of-coding-apprenticeships\"><\/span>Types of Coding Apprenticeships<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many types of apprenticeships in tech, such as a software development apprenticeship or cyber security apprenticeship.
