We are honored to support you as you take the next step toward a career in the beauty trades. Apprenticeship is a meaningful pathway that allows you to learn, grow, and build real-world skills while working alongside experienced professionals in the industry.
Through the Atarashii Apprentice Program, approved apprentices complete structured on-the-job training and related instruction designed to prepare them for success in their chosen licensed profession. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship and all applicable state requirements, candidates may be eligible to sit for the licensing exam in their state.
To begin, select your state and choose the apprenticeship position you would like to apply for. After your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by our Apprentice Approval Committee. If your application is approved, you will be added to our candidate pool, where Atarashii Employer Training Partners may invite you to interview for available apprenticeship opportunities.
Your approved application will remain active in the candidate pool for one year. During that time, Employer Training Partners may review your information and reach out if they feel you may be a good fit for their business and training environment.
If you have any questions or need assistance, we are here to help. Please contact us at applicants@atarashii.org to connect with our Apprentice Candidate Navigator Team.
We are excited to be part of your journey and look forward to helping you take this important step toward your future career.
The Lane Early Learning Apprenticeship Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (LELA JATC) (MA #3013) offers a Child Care Development Specialist Registered Apprenticeship program designed to support early childhood professionals as they grow their careers. Apprentices earn while they learn through a combination of paid, on-the-job training and related educational coursework, with pathways to a Child Development Associate (CDA) or an Early Childhood Education (ECE) Certificate.
Supported by Onward Eugene, Lane Community College, and Quality Care Connections, and LELA affiliated-employers, the program provides coaching, mentorship, tuition assistance, and wrap-around services. Apprentices benefit from guidance by experienced early childhood professionals and access to Oregon Registry Online and community-based training, helping them successfully navigate their professional journey and advance in the field.
LELA JATC (MA #3013) will not discriminate against apprenticeship applicants or apprentices based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, genetic information, or because they are an individual with a disability or a person 40 years old or older. LELA JATC will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 30.​ (29 CFR § 30.3(c))​
