💡 Arkansas employers—this is your opportunity to add tech talent without the full cost.

With Apprenticely, you can bring on skilled interns for roles like IT Support Specialist, Web Developer, Graphic Designer, and Data Analyst—while Apprenticely subsidizes two-thirds of their salary.

We pay $10/hr and the employer only pays $5/hr.

You get motivated talent at a fraction of the cost.

For three months, interns contribute to real work—helping move projects forward and support your team.

Plus, Apprenticely provides project management at NO COST to ensure a smooth experience.

Even better? You can “test drive” candidates—evaluate performance and fit before making a full-time hire.

Over the last five years, an average of 88% of interns have converted into long-term, high-value team members.

✅ “We have four apprentices that were brought on as interns and are now going through the apprenticeship program. As a call center manager, hiring can be difficult - finding someone who truly wants to stay with the company.

The internship program gave us the ability to find someone that fits with the culture of OzarksGo. It's been a great thing for us.”

— Samantha Frye, Manager of Customer Experience, OzarksGo

💡 "As far as the apprenticeship program goes, I was incredibly impressed. I was the lone apprentice, and the whole process was really smooth.

Apprenticely and Strong were very clear about what I needed to do as far as my OTJ and my RTI hours.

And of course, I bombarded them with questions. They answered everything, made sure I had full clarity of everything that was going on. And they’ve been incredibly helpful.

I’ve even asked them for additional classes on the side. I say, “Hey, I really want to learn this IBM program.” Or they set me up with a CompTIA network plus a certification exam, and I had already studied for the A+ exam.

I was like, “Well, can we just go ahead and schedule me for an A+ exam too, so I can just grab both of them since I already studied for this one?”

They were very generous. “Yeah, we can do that.” So I have both certifications...."
