Union apprenticeship sign-ups near Seattle

A local apprenticeship programme is taking applicants for the next intake. It has been a long 3 weeks. Applications close in 3 weeks. What do you wish you had known?

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.

You earn while you learn, but the first year is tight. Plan your budget carefully.
