Illinois registered apprenticeships
This finder includes both union (JATC) and non-union (ABC, IEC, Helmets-to-Hardhats) registered apprenticeships pulled from the DOL RAPIDS system. Editorial deep-dives below currently focus on verified JATC locals — non-union pathway profiles are in development.
Illinois is an Office of Apprenticeship (OA) state; registered apprenticeships flow through U.S. DOL Region 5 rather than a State Apprenticeship Agency. IDPH licenses plumbers statewide under the Illinois Plumbing License Law (225 ILCS 320). Electrician and HVAC licensing are municipal: Chicago, Cook County, and other cities/counties set their own credentials, exams, and fees. Verify local requirements with the municipality where work is performed.
