Our Story
During the past eight years, Apprentice University has sought to provide students throughout Indiana and beyond the opportunity to face their future with confidence.
Apprentice University was originally created to reduce a talent shortage in the technology industry. However, we have expanded since then to a diverse community of professionals and students. Our apprentices' interests range from marketing to cybersecurity to entrepreneurship to media and digital storytelling and more. Our model has undergone a few iterations, but throughout the changes we remain to guide our students through challenging, real-world experiences that prepare them for their future.
