Each Apprentice is assigned an industry mentor to facilitate introductions at networking events and provide guidance and feedback during the program.The FPFC Apprentice Program accepts applications at the beginning of the calendar year. The program runs from April through December. Applications are open from November 2025 to January 2026.
