She applied through <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.multiverse.io\/en-US\">Multiverse<\/a>, a platform that matches apprentices with 12- to 18-month opportunities among their 300 clients, who often offer salaries between $50,000 and $70,000 per year. Kabba created a profile and was matched with insurance company <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chubb.com\/us-en\/\">Chubb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She started her 12-month apprenticeship this past March on a remote team working on Blink, a startup within Chubb, and has been focusing on bringing insurance to consumers in a digital channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m getting a dual learning experience on the technical side of using data and the business side, on how a company grows from the very beginning,\u201d said Kabba. \u201cI\u2019ll be learning how to create a database from scratch instead of only understanding the analytics,\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Cartomu-Kabba2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Cartomu, an apprentice, working at  Multiverse\u2019s office at&#10;WeWork\" class=\"wp-image-20283715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Cartomu-Kabba2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Cartomu-Kabba2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Cartomu-Kabba2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Cartomu Kabba im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely started working for insurance company Chubb without needing a college education.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Stefano Giovannini<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although apprenticeships are often associated with skilled trades, they\u2019re now emerging for these kinds of white-collar jobs. According to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/\">US Department of Labor<\/a>, apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with instruction to prepare workers for highly skilled careers, are typically paid and involve a structured training plan with an intention to master specific skills.<\/p>\n<p>Kabba\u2019s days toggle between working on tasks and learning a skill for another project like Python or Microsoft Azure, along with attending monthly Multiverse boot camp sessions. The boot camps are taught by Multiverse coaches \u2014 she\u2019s already learned Excel, SQL, Power Bi, Python and basics of data analytics.

Ng said, \u201cFinancial capital \u2014 money \u2014 isn\u2019t the only thing you can get from an apprenticeship (or really any work experience). This is also your chance to build your human capital (what you know and can do), social capital (who you know) and reputational capital (who knows you and for what).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Access to apprenticeships isn\u2019t limited to college-age adults. After working in retail for 10 years, 30-something Steven Hubbard had his sights set on an IT career, but there\u2019s that pesky catch-22: You can\u2019t get a job without experience and you can\u2019t get experience without a job.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, he applied for a full-time role at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/maxxpotential.com\/\">Maxx Potential,<\/a> a consulting firm offering apprenticeships in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>. Apprentices get assigned a highly skilled mentor, a peer buddy, a development coach and they have access to network with other apprentices through meet-ups and study groups like hangouts for crypto.<\/p>\n<p>By acquiring new skills and learning about the cloud, databases, programming, securities and how domain name systems work, all while getting paid, Hubbard felt prepared to ace job interviews when he left Maxx in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re [employers are] saying, \u2018Tell me what you would do during this situation.\u2019 Well, I can tell you what I actually did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout Maxx Potential and that support network and learning system, I wouldn\u2019t have been able to transition into what I\u2019m doing now or it would have been incredibly difficult,\u201d said Hubbard.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Since completing the apprenticeship, he landed full-time roles as a front-end web developer and solutions architect, nearly doubling his salary every time he scored a new job. Now, the Richmond, Va., resident is employed as an enterprise architect for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cockroachlabs.com\/\">Cockroach Labs<\/a>, a Chelsea-based company that helps organizations manage their data.<\/p>\n<p>Kimberly Mahan, founder and partner at Maxx Potential, said most apprenticeships last around 14 months, during which time apprentices advance to higher levels in quality assurance and testing, application maintenance and support, information security, software development, and data management and reporting.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u201cWe operate like any other consulting firm. We\u2019re building the minor league \u2014 a farm feeder system to senior consulting firms,\u201d said Mahan. \u201cWe create an environment where folks are always learning. Think about it before you sign [student] loan papers.<\/p>\n<p>We can get you experience so you can get in \u2014 and most employers have tuition reimbursement programs so you can get your degree later. What you need to get into the door more than anything is real-world experience.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
