.:United Services Military Apprenticeship Program:.

The USMAP is a formal military training program that allows Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy personnel to complete a civilian apprenticeship program while on active duty. Marines are assigned an apprenticeable trade base on their respective MOS, while Sailors may apply for an apprenticeable trade based on their Navy rating.

The program requires no outside or additional work. Personnel are only required to record the hours they spend working in their field each day. Once the service member has completed the required minimum number of hours, he or she receives a certificate of completion of apprenticeship from the Department of Labor.

For more information or to enroll in the program, please head to the USMAP website at:
