  <div class="blog-callout-title">Why consider an apprenticeship</div>
  <p>LM apprenticeships earn while you learn — no student debt. You receive full benefits (including the 10% 401(k)) from day one, and the training leads directly to full-time positions. The pre-apprenticeship program earned statewide recognition in December 2025. This is a genuine career path into aerospace for people without a 4-year degree.</p>
