Apprenticeship openings for electricians and welders - first time posting

I heard of an apprenticeship with paid on-the-job training for people changing careers. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Classes are in the evening and work is during the day. Did anyone go through it?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
