About This Pathway
FinTech / Blockchain Support is scoped as a restricted SkyBridge apprenticeship pathway. The financial technology and blockchain sector presents significant regulatory complexity — including federal securities law, state money transmission licensing, and evolving digital asset regulations — that must be fully analyzed before any apprenticeship framework can be developed.
When legal review is complete and a compliant pathway framework is established, this pathway would train apprentices in fintech operations support, blockchain technology fundamentals, digital payment systems, and regulatory compliance for financial technology roles.
SkyBridge will not begin development of this pathway until all legal, regulatory, and licensing requirements have been reviewed and cleared by qualified legal counsel.
Important: This pathway is restricted pending legal review. It is not in active development and is not registered with the U.S. Department of Labor. Do not submit applications for enrollment. All details are preliminary and subject to change pending legal review.

Legal Review First
SkyBridge is committed to operating within all applicable legal and regulatory frameworks. This pathway will not proceed until qualified legal counsel has reviewed and cleared the pathway design.
