| مستخلص: | This research aimed to add knowledge about apprentices and their views of participating in a U.S. apprenticeship program by focusing on selected student participants (apprentices) enrolled in a high school apprenticeship training program called the Georgia Consortium of Advanced Technical Training program. Interpretations and future research possibilities help answer the research questions discussing the apprentices' typical day at work, motivations on why the apprentices pursue the program, and the impact of participating in an apprenticeship on their career/life plans. A basic qualitative interview study was conducted to understand participants' views of participating in a U.S. apprenticeship program. Five participants were interviewed for the study. Maximum variation sampling method was used to select the small number of participants. The data were collected through semistructured interviews conducting using an interview guide. At the time of the interviews in May 2021, there was a global pandemic taking place. For this study, hand coding and Microsoft Excel were used to organize the data. A three-pass process was conducted using open, axial, and thematic coding. Overall, the study's findings showed that the apprentices' views were associated with certain everyday lived experiences, be they positive or negative outcomes. These included findings linked to mentor relations, social integration, soft skills, and active learning.The apprentices' views presented in this paper have contributed to the hopeful understanding of the impact of apprenticeship. The interesting findings of this small-scale study must now be extended through research that uses a larger sample, with particular attention paid to developing a deeper understanding of mentor relations, social integration, soft skills, and active learning. An evaluation of the impact of the proposed understandings for effective apprenticeship practice would also serve as a valuable contribution to the field and offer new perspectives to industries and educational providers as they work to overcome the challenges faced in the manufacturing sector and work to create and cultivate a younger skilled and committed workforce.
